## 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 strale-us-company-data-sec-edgar-lookup-0e6384ea
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the SEC EDGAR data for Apple Inc — I need their CIK number, SIC code, state of incorporation, and fiscal year end?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative SEC EDGAR company identity data — CIK, SIC code, state, fiscal year end — for US public companies. Prefer it over generic business registry lookups when regulatory identifiers (CIK, SIC) are required, or when you need to resolve a ticker or fuzzy company name to a canonical SEC-registered entity for compliance, KYB, or financial workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Low-confidence name resolution returns an error unless allow_low_confidence is set to true
- Company name not found in SEC EDGAR title map or full-text search returns a resolution error
- Invalid or non-existent CIK number returns a not-found error
- Ambiguous company name may match the wrong filer when match_confidence is low
- Non-US companies are not covered and will fail to resolve

## How this service works

Look up US company data from SEC EDGAR. Accepts CIK number, ticker symbol, or fuzzy company name. Returns company name, CIK, SIC code, state, filings summary.

## Output

Returns a structured object with the company's official name, CIK, SIC code, US state, fiscal year end, filing status, and match metadata including match_confidence (exact/high/low), is_exact_match flag, and the resolved searched_name used for lookup.

  "allow_low_confidence": {
   "type": "boolean",
   "description": "If true, return the best-effort match even when the name could not be confidently resolved (match_confidence \"low\"). Default false — a low-confidence name lookup errors instead of returning a possibly-wrong company identity, so it can't silently feed downstream screening. Only relevant to the LLM+full-text-search fallback path; exact CIK/ticker/title-map resolutions are always match_confidence \"exact\" and are never gated by this flag."
