Company Needs
Surface recent pain points, challenges, or other requested topics from a company’s official filings as concise, structured highlights. Both company_name and content (the topic to surface) are required; an optional filing restricts the search to one filing type. The request is queued asynchronously and returns a request_id; poll the status endpoint or supply a callback_url. The completed result includes a needs array with one entry per matching filing excerpt (filing, content, date, and source URL) - an empty array when nothing matches. Analysis typically takes 15-60 seconds. A credit is charged only when the analysis produces results.
Manual credentials take precedence over your account key.
Overview
Summarize pain points / challenges from a company’s official filings.
Parameters
Polling for the result
This endpoint is asynchronous. A successful submit returns a request_id while the job runs in the background. Poll the same path with a GET request - same authentication headers - passing the request_id as a
query parameter:
Each poll returns the job's current status; once it is completed the payload carries the result shown under Responses. Polling an
unknown or expired request_id returns 404 request_not_found.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| queued · processing · pending | The job is still running - keep polling. |
| completed | The job finished; the payload carries the result and completed: true. |
| failed | Terminal - the job could not complete; the error field explains why. |
Poll every few seconds at first, backing off for long-running jobs. Polling is free - status checks never burn credits.
Prefer push delivery?
callback_url parameter and the completed payload is POSTed to your endpoint
when the job finishes - no polling required. Delivery is retried up to 5 times with exponential backoff (1s,
5s, 15s, 1m, 5m) and a 30-second timeout per attempt; respond with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.Credit usage
Credits are charged based on the matched configuration. The listed cost is the per-result unit price.
| Feature | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Needs Analysis | - | Charged once when the analysis produces results |
| No data | 0 | No relevant filings never burns credits |
