What to test

  • Latest filing discovery with GET /v1/filings/latest
  • Historical filing manifests with GET /v1/filings
  • Full-text search with /v1/search/fulltext
  • Semantic search with /v1/search/semantic
  • Section retrieval with /v1/sections or filing-section routes
  • Metadata preservation: CIK, accession number, filing date, source URL, requestId, traceparent, freshness, and materialization fields

Evaluation path

1

Start with one issuer

Resolve a ticker or CIK, fetch the latest filing, and confirm the response carries enough identifiers for downstream joins.
2

Search a real research question

Run keyword and semantic search for the same question. Compare whether each result preserves citations and whether the snippet is short enough for your agent context window.
3

Check pricing before fanout

Review Pricing and limits, then quote repeated search or extraction loops before scaling the workflow.
