Issuer Packet API: One document per public company joining SEC identity, flagged 8-K — free lookup

One document per public company joining SEC identity, flagged 8-K events, insider activity and clusters, Reg D history, XBRL facts, a computed peer group and the Federal Register rules that touch it. Replaces 6-8 calls and the joins between them; every section reports present/absent with a reason.

$0.2 per call — pay with prepaid card credits (Authorization: Bearer ck_live_…, packs from $1) or with USDC over x402: call it, get 402 with the price, retry signed. Failed calls are never charged.

How do you call it?

How fresh is it, and where does the data come from?

The fastest source behind this answer can change every 15 minutes, so every response carries a refresh_after timestamp — right now it would be 2026-09-17T11:15:00.000Z. Schedule the next call on that value rather than on a guess.

Method version 0.1.0 · serving cache 1 day · every response carries a result_id you can resolve at /v1/provenance.

What should you call next?

When should you use it?

A broad question about one issuer, where the next step depends on what is there.

What you skip building

When should you not use it?

One known field — the per-section endpoints are $0.00-$0.05 and listed in `sections`. Repeat monitoring — poll /v1/sec/8k/changes for half a cent and re-buy this only when it says something changed.

Where else can you find this?
