## 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-ticker-cik-lookup-by-company-name-or-ticker-fragment-043ebff0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find the SEC ticker symbol and CIK number for Apple — I need both to pull their EDGAR filings?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve a company name or partial ticker to its official SEC CIK and ticker symbol, especially as a prerequisite step before fetching SEC EDGAR filings, financial disclosures, or regulatory documents. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when the primary need is authoritative SEC identifier resolution rather than price or fundamentals data.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found for obscure or misspelled company names — returns empty result set
- Ambiguous query returning many matches when fragment is too short (e.g. ?q=a)
- Payment failure: HTTP 402 if x402 payment not completed
- Rate limiting or server error returning non-200 status
- Private or foreign companies not listed with the SEC return no results

## How this service works

FINANCE: resolve a company name or ticker fragment to SEC ticker(s) + CIK (?q=apple). Returns JSON.

## Output

A JSON object containing one or more matching SEC ticker symbols and associated CIK numbers for the queried company name or ticker fragment, enabling downstream SEC EDGAR queries.
