How this service works
Search the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) database by firm name: CRD number, firm name and other names, SEC adviser (801-) and broker-dealer (8-) numbers, adviser and broker-dealer registration status, whether disclosures (regulatory or legal events) exist, FINRA registrations, branch count, office city/state/country and the IAPD summary URL; plus the total number of matches.
Output
Returns a paginated list of matching investment adviser and broker-dealer firms from the SEC IAPD database, including each firm's CRD number, SEC adviser number, SEC broker-dealer number, active/inactive adviser and broker-dealer status, city, state, country, number of branches, known aliases, whether disclosures exist, FINRA registrations count, and a direct link to their IAPD profile page. Also returns total match count, the search name used, current page, and the timestamp of when the data was checked.
Example use cases
Verify adviser registration before investing
“I'm considering working with a firm called Blackrock Investment Management — can you check their SEC registration status, adviser status, and whether there are any disclosures on file?”
Research competing wealth management firms
“Pull up the first 10 SEC-registered firms matching the name 'fidelity' from the IAPD database — I want to see their CRD numbers, cities, states, and whether they're active advisers or broker-dealers.”
Compliance check on a suspected unregistered adviser
“Can you search the SEC IAPD database for a firm called 'Pinnacle Capital Advisors' and tell me if they're registered, what their status is, and if they have any disclosures on record?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.chainmarket-api.workers.dev/api/finance/sec-iapd?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to verify SEC registration status, find CRD numbers, or look up broker-dealer and investment adviser details from the official SEC IAPD database. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative regulatory data directly from adviserinfo.sec.gov. Ideal for compliance checks, due diligence workflows, or any scenario requiring official SEC registration metadata for named financial firms.
Side effects
- No firms found for the given name (empty firms array with total 0)
- Invalid or missing 'name' parameter returns a validation error
- Page number out of range returns empty results
- Limit parameter outside 1-50 range may return an error
- SEC IAPD source unavailable causes upstream failure
- Payment failure via x402 results in no charge and no data
