## 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 vextorium-us-company-search-6efdfbdb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the SEC EDGAR database for companies matching 'Tesla' and give me up to 5 results including their CIK numbers, tickers, and which exchange they trade on.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a company name to its SEC CIK, stock ticker, or exchange, especially as a prerequisite to fetching SEC filings or financial data. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative identifiers from the official SEC EDGAR registry rather than unstructured text results.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the query string matches no companies in EDGAR
- Partial or ambiguous matches if the query is a common word shared by many entities
- Null fields for ticker or exchange if a company is not actively listed
- Invalid limit value (outside 1-50) may cause a validation error
- Network or upstream EDGAR availability issues returning an error

## How this service works

Search US listed companies registered with the SEC by name or ticker: ticker, official name, CIK and exchange (Nasdaq, NYSE...). Get the right ticker before asking for filings or fundamentals.

## Output

A JSON object containing the original query, a source label ('SEC public EDGAR database'), and an array of up to 50 matching company records, each with: CIK (SEC identifier string), company name, ticker symbol, and exchange name (e.g. Nasdaq, NYSE).
