## 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-xbrl-concept-time-series-e7d70a01
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 8 annual revenue figures for Apple (ticker AAPL) from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings — I need each value cited to its actual filing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need granular, filing-cited time-series for a specific financial line-item from SEC EDGAR — ideal for financial analysis, trend detection, or compliance work where provenance to the original filing matters. Prefer over full-document scraping when you only need one concept across multiple periods.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker or CIK returns 404 or empty result
- Unrecognized concept name returns error or no data
- Requesting more than 12 periods returns validation error
- Company has not filed XBRL data for requested periods
- us-gaap tag not present in filings returns empty array
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks request

## How this service works

Cited time-series for a single financial line-item from SEC EDGAR XBRL. Give a ticker or CIK plus a concept (a canonical name like revenue or netIncome, or a raw us-gaap tag) and get the normalized period values, each cited to its filing. Cheap granular pull.

## Output

A time-series array of normalized period values for the requested financial concept, each entry tagged with the filing it came from, covering up to 12 recent annual or quarterly periods.
