## 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 web-production-60258-up-railway-app-37f9f023
```

Example prompt: Pull up the SEC filings for Tesla — I want to see their most recent EDGAR submissions. Also check if there are any FDA regulatory actions against them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need on-demand access to SEC EDGAR filings or FDA regulatory actions for a named company or entity, or when you want a single API that will eventually unify federal court, patent, and compliance data. Prefer this over scraping EDGAR or FDA websites directly. Note that only sec_filings and regulatory_actions are currently live; other types are in development.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'type' query parameter — returns error or empty result
- Query string doesn't match any known entity — returns empty results
- Requested data type (case_filings, patents, court_docket, compliance_check) is still in development and may return stub or placeholder data
- Rate limiting or payment failure for $0.01 USDC per call via x402 protocol
- Network timeout if upstream regulatory data sources are slow

## How this service works

Legal and regulatory data on demand — SEC EDGAR filings and FDA regulatory actions are live. Federal court case filings (PACER), USPTO patents, court dockets, and compliance checks are in development. Pass ?type= to specify: case_filings, patents, sec_filings, regulatory_actions, court_docket, compliance_check.

## Output

Returns structured legal and regulatory data records matching the query, such as SEC EDGAR filing summaries, FDA action details, or court case information, depending on the requested type.
