Pagination and source scope

This is an EDGAR-oriented discovery surface, not a promise that every result has the canonical enrichment available from entity resolution. Continue with nextCursor while hasMore is true, then resolve the selected identifier before using it as an issuer key.

Errors

Invalid pagination returns 400 invalid_query_parameter; source-search failures return a contract-aware error. Preserve requestId when reporting a source-coverage gap.

Give this prompt to your agent

Failure posture

use the returned CIK as the source identifier, then resolve it when canonical identity matters
preserve pagination state
do not infer a ticker from a name-only result
