# SEC Industry Benchmark Percentiles (Multply Labs)

> SEC Industry Benchmark Percentiles (Multply Labs) is a paid API for AI agents from sec.multyplylabs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns industry benchmark percentiles (p10/p25/median/p75/p90) for any financial metric across US public companies, segmented by SIC industry and revenue size bucket.

## 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-industry-benchmark-percentiles-multply-labs-64fccb9c
```

Example prompt: What are the p10, median, and p90 benchmark percentiles for gross_margin across large US software companies — I want to see how the industry stacks up by revenue tier.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need cross-company aggregate statistics (percentile distributions) for a financial metric across an industry cohort, rather than data for a single company. It is uniquely suited for benchmarking, competitive landscape analysis, and answering 'what is normal for this industry?' questions. Prefer it over peer-comparison endpoints when you want population-level distributions rather than side-by-side company comparisons, and over a stock screener when you need summary statistics rather than a filtered list of companies.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported metric name — endpoint returns an error if the metric slug does not match a recognized XBRL-derived field
- Insufficient data for a very narrow industry/revenue segment — percentiles may be suppressed or unreliable
- Rate limiting or payment failure — x402 payment not processed correctly results in 402 response
- Malformed path parameter — missing or invalid :metric path segment returns 400
- No filings available for a given SIC code — returns empty or null percentile set

## How this service works

Industry benchmark percentiles (p10/p25/median/p75/p90) for any financial metric across US public companies, grouped by industry (SIC) and revenue size bucket. Answer questions like 'what is the median gross margin of large software companies?' — cross-company aggregates computed from normalized SEC XBRL data. No other API sells this per-call.

## Output

A structured response containing industry benchmark percentiles (p10, p25, median, p75, p90) for the requested financial metric, broken down by SIC industry group and revenue size bucket, computed from normalized SEC XBRL data across 20,000+ US public companies.
