## 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 tbs-sec-edgar-cik-resolver-42d5c2b2
```

Example prompt: What is the SEC EDGAR CIK number for Nvidia — I need the zero-padded 10-digit identifier before I can pull their XBRL financial facts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the mandatory first step before querying any SEC EDGAR filings or XBRL financial facts endpoints — it resolves the opaque CIK identifier required by all downstream SEC data APIs. Prefer this over manual EDGAR full-text search when building automated financial agents that need programmatic, structured CIK resolution by ticker or partial company name, payable per-call in USDC without API key registration.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ticker or company name returns no match or empty result
- Partial name match may return wrong company if name is ambiguous
- CIK not found for private or non-US companies
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
- Stale data if SEC EDGAR index has not been recently synced

## How this service works

Resolve a US public company's SEC EDGAR CIK for AI agents and financial bots. Look up by stock ticker (AAPL, NVDA, MSFT) or by company name and get the zero-padded 10-digit CIK identifier, ticker, and official registrant title. The keyless first step before any SEC filings or XBRL financial-facts query. Unified schema, stablecoin-payable.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the zero-padded 10-digit SEC EDGAR CIK, the official registrant title as filed with the SEC, the stock ticker symbol, the data source, a request ID, and a generated_at timestamp. Also includes payer address and network information for the x402 micropayment.
