AgentFilings
Structured US SEC/EDGAR filing data for AI agents — filings index, XBRL-derived
earnings, and Form 4 insider transactions as clean JSON, over both HTTP and MCP.
Paid per call with x402 (USDC on Base mainnet, no account required). A flat
Stripe subscription rail — API-key issuance, subscription gate, checkout and
webhook — is implemented in apps/api/src/billing/ but not switched on in the live
deployment.

What's actually interesting in here
Most of the work went into three things that are easy to get wrong with SEC data,
and one that's easy to get wrong with agent payments.
Restatements. companyfacts returns the same period once per filing that
reported it. When a company restates a figure, the superseded value is still in the
API. Each period here reconciles to its most recently filed value rather than the
first one encountered.
Fiscal period provenance. The fy/fp fields on a fact describe the filing,
not the period. A 10-Q showing last year's quarter as a comparative stamps that
older period with the newer filing's fiscal year. Each period here keeps the labels
from the filing that originally reported it. benchmark/ is a
runnable measurement of how often those disagree.
Entity identity. SEC's ticker map can point at a post-reorganization shell that
holds the ticker and files no financial data. Resolution is CIK-authoritative, with
a guard that refuses to record coverage for an entity reporting no us-gaap facts.
Payment replay. Every x402 payment proof is bound to the specific resource it
paid for, so a proof issued for one endpoint or MCP tool cannot be replayed against
another. Settlement is idempotent, and EIP-712 domains are read per-network from the
USDC contracts rather than hardcoded.
Honest coverage
/probe is free, and it will tell you not to pay:
A company can be covered for filings and empty for earnings — foreign issuers
filing under IFRS, pre-revenue companies. Charging for a call that returns nothing
is the fastest way to lose an automated buyer permanently, so the service says so
before taking money.
Layout
packages/shared/src/pricing.ts is the single source of truth for the API surface.
The payment middleware, /probe, the MCP tool list and the OpenAPI document all
derive from it.
Development
Payments are gated off by default, so paid routes serve openly in development.
Ingestion requires SEC_CONTACT_EMAIL — the SEC requires a contact in the
User-Agent and blocks requests without one. See .env.example
and infra/DEPLOY.md.
Principles
- The free surface is honest.
/health and /probe are always free, and
/probe never overstates coverage.
- Never charge for what cannot be served. An unimplemented endpoint is never
payment-gated — the middleware would otherwise take payment and then 404.
- Public domain only. SEC EDGAR. No licensed datasets, no scraped transcripts.
- Merchant only. The service never holds, routes, or forwards third-party funds.
