When should you use it?
You need the registrant's disclosed subsidiary list and jurisdictions.
What you skip building
- EX-21 location
- HTML table parsing
- exhibit format variance
When should you not use it?
Complete ownership structures — issuers may omit minor subsidiaries, and parsing is best-effort (source_url is always included).
Where else can you find this?
- Catalog entry (JSON, free)
- OpenAPI schema — input and output types, prices, the 402 flow
- llms.txt — every product in one plain-text document
