## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-edgar-enforcement-phrase-search-9fea8aa0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before we onboard Apex Capital Partners as a counterparty, search SEC EDGAR filings for the phrase 'cease-and-desist' associated with them — filter to 8-K forms filed in the last two years and give me any matching filings with their sec.gov links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically screen a counterparty, vendor, or investment target against SEC EDGAR enforcement and regulatory filings using a specific phrase — especially before onboarding, paying, or contracting. Prefer this over manual EDGAR searches when you need structured, machine-readable output with direct filing links, or when integrating due diligence into an automated workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Phrase returns zero results if the search term is too specific or misspelled
- Rate limiting or timeout if EDGAR full-text search is slow or unavailable
- Invalid form type filter causes empty or error response
- Date range filter excludes relevant filings if too narrow
- No results returned for very new filings not yet indexed by EDGAR

## How this service works

Call before onboarding, screening or paying a counterparty: full-text search of SEC EDGAR filings for an enforcement/regulatory phrase; returns matching filings (company, CIK, form, filed/period, state, SIC, accession + official sec.gov deep-link). Phrase search: quote your term, filter by form/date.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a success flag, the as-of timestamp, total match count, the query phrase used, form filters applied, data source label, and an array of matching filings each containing company name, CIK, SIC code, state of incorporation, form type, filed date, period of report, accession number, and a direct sec.gov archive URL.
