## Access requirements

- `company facts`: CIK must be 10-digit zero-padded; requires a `User-Agent` header [obj_01M3Q3BVHXBYY1N9KRZBD6EGGT].
- Full-text search's "Undeclared Automated Tool" 403 triggers on a literally missing `User-Agent`, not on its content [obj_01M45QQ1AKAR67P0YE7S1W10Y8].
- Three ticker-to-CIK files on the same host have three different JSON/text shapes, all UA-gated, sorted by apparent market cap, not alphabetically [obj_01M4CYTKYTC2VNK3KGA32NDVEE].

## XBRL endpoints and traps

- `companyconcept` returns one XBRL fact via `/companyconcept/CIK{padded}/us-gaap/{Tag}.json` [obj_01M3Q3BWA6KNBGH4VEW3RR06JB]; a finding lays out which endpoint gives what, and the two traps using them [obj_01M3Q3C0FA41TPVD0Y2NR7G5DH].
- The frames API answers a wrong period-shape or nonexistent concept with a raw S3 `NoSuchKey` XML body, not a JSON API error [obj_01M45QQ3SXN9DTTW3MN3WMVD2P].
- `companyfacts`: the same `(start,end,value)` data point recurs across filings, and `frame` appears on only some duplicates [obj_01M4CYTP50ST0Y68RNMBQP8EP7]. A single 10-Q contributes TWO entries under one tag sharing an end date — YTD cumulative and single-quarter, distinguished only by `start` [obj_01M4CYTR819P2FDZ4128Z639VG]. The `fp` enum never contains Q4 — only Q1/Q2/Q3/FY [obj_01M4CYTTGC0KK094R52F9X65RP]. A 10-K/A's restated value sits alongside the original 10-K's different value for the identical period, with no `supersedes` flag [obj_01M4CYTWKETKD7SJQE7S8X0H4S].
- Calendar-quarter frame labels (`CY2021Q4`) go to whatever period-end falls nearest, not recomputed to calendar boundaries — verified for a non-December fiscal year [obj_01M4CYTYPJFM0VRVRB457VBC90].
- `companyconcept`/`companyfacts`/`frames` expose only the consolidated (no-axis) value; dimensionally-qualified facts are silently absent, not erroring [obj_01M4V90PVBD5Z8RXQH83F6E3G7] — that detail survives only in the bulk Financial Statement Data Sets' `NUM.txt`, whose documented composite key includes `segments`/`coreg` [obj_01M4V916M0PWKPCKPMFC2ZMWMY].
- A pure institutional-manager CIK (no operating business, only 13F/N-PX filings) 404s cleanly on `companyfacts` (S3 `NoSuchKey`) [obj_01M4V918F132J6AAP9APC744HS].

## Full-text search (efts.sec.gov) mechanics

- 100 hits/page, `from` is the only pager, and the 10,000-hit window error arrives as HTTP 200 [obj_01M3R9682VR3D8GPG5SNPVK2F9].
- `forms=10-K/A` filters correctly on the amendment, but the hit's `root_forms` normalizes back to base form `10-K` [obj_01M4CYV34WM90GGEX5KJW9M0DM].
- An unquoted multi-word query is an implicit AND of every term anywhere in the document, not a phrase or OR [obj_01M4V90H4B026W77TEQJ4NQ6DH]; the index covers raw structured-filing XML element text, so a generic query against Form 4 hits 10,000+ filings on boilerplate strings, not narrative disclosure [obj_01M4V90K3CMQ0838GYVWXEQMVK].
- `forms=` is case-sensitive: lowercase `forms=10-k` silently returns zero hits, `forms=10-K` returns 10,000+ [obj_01M4V90WVBMYS6SSF5NPFE52EC].
- No server-side filter for 8-K item codes: `items=5.02` changes nothing — same hits, no error — even though each hit's `_source` carries an `items` field [obj_01M4V90V2N7G25K6DFQN2CPVJM].
- Form-type spelling for beneficial-ownership schedules differs by endpoint: full-text search needs `SCHEDULE 13D`/`13G`, the browse endpoint needs `SC 13D`/`13G` for the identical form — wrong spelling fails silently on one, with an opaque 503 on the other [obj_01M4V912VMSBD3TDH5NASGKJR5].

## submissions.json and bulk data

- `filings.recent` nests under `filings.recent.*[]`, but its linked `files[]` page is flat top-level arrays with the same field names [obj_01M45QPYSJAAHZ444F4RHX90JG], and caps at exactly 1000 entries; an old 10-K/A only exists in a separate numbered shard file named in `filings.files` [obj_01M4CYV59RR0JDJE1K3YSKW9F4].
- The `items` field carries 8-K item codes (comma-separated) only for 8-K/8-K-A filings; every other form's `items` is always empty [obj_01M4V90RSSVS74NGJZKDWCBFJM].
- Each ~57MB quarterly FSDS zip has no filtering/pagination, is keyed by the quarter a filing was FILED (not the period covered), and is scoped only to facts "rendered" on the primary statements [obj_01M4V914TNSQ1D7FX5379GT8NY].

## Form 13F-HR

- The information-table XML exhibit has no fixed or predictable filename — an arbitrary accession-local number [obj_01M4V910ZHFHYETT410FXN57G5] — and its infoTable `<value>` field's unit changed by exactly 1000x at the 2023 reporting-modernization rule change [obj_01M4V90YYT42EB1ZH9B4DF3GA7].

## SEC IAPD and FINRA BrokerCheck

- SEC IAPD (adviserinfo) search is keyless, but a missing query returns HTTP 200 with an embedded error, not a 400 [obj_01M45ZVSY5Z2P49JNBT3Y0HMRW]; FINRA BrokerCheck shares that exact backend shape, down to the same HTTP-200-on-failure body [obj_01M45ZVVNXR3P5H744MM9005SK].

## Performance

- 32 sequential GETs at roughly 6–7 req/s against data.sec.gov produced zero throttling [obj_01M4RYAMWF4CHFESZ7YE6Y80DR].

## Disagreements and open questions

- A 10-K/A's restated value and the original 10-K's value for the identical period both sit in `companyfacts` with no flag distinguishing which is current [obj_01M4CYTWKETKD7SJQE7S8X0H4S]. A separate company's FY2025 net income, assets, and equity were restated across four separate 10-K/A amendments, old and new values both accessible, no flag saying which supersedes which [obj_01M4RYAVPPGZ2P2ABR732T9XVE].
- No other record here contradicts another record, and no outcome on any cited record is `failed`/`not_useful`.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
