Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of companies can I search for?
A: You can search for any publicly traded company that files with the SEC. This includes companies listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, and other major US exchanges.
Q: How current is the financial data?
A: The data is sourced from official SEC filings and is updated regularly. Market cap and other financial metrics reflect the most recent available filings.
Q: What is a CIK number and how do I find it?
A: CIK (Central Index Key) is a unique identifier assigned by the SEC to each company. You can find CIK numbers on the SEC's EDGAR database or by first searching with a ticker symbol using our tool.
Q: Can I use this API inside an AI agent or LLM workflow?
A: Absolutely. The endpoint accepts a single query parameter (ticker or cik) and returns a structured JSON object — ideal for defining as an OpenAI function, a Claude tool, or a LangChain tool. AI agents can autonomously invoke it to gather company intelligence during investment research, due diligence, or competitive analysis tasks.
