finance.cik-ticker

Resolve SEC CIK <-> ticker in both directions. Pass a ticker to get its CIK; pass a CIK to get every ticker the issuer has (each share class, e.g. GOOG + GOOGL), each with its listing exchange (Nasdaq, NYSE, etc.) and the canonical company name. The CIK is the key to everything in EDGAR -- filings, XBRL facts, Form 4 insider trades, 13F holdings -- so this is the join that turns a ticker an agent has into the identifier EDGAR actually indexes by (and back). Data: SEC company_tickers_exchange.json (US public domain), cached and refreshed daily. Distinct from finance.security-resolve, which also crosses into FIGI/LEI/ISIN; this one is the focused, exchange-aware CIK<->ticker map.

Overview

The cik ticker API is a pay-per-call finance endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Resolve SEC CIK <-> ticker in both directions.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in cik ticker data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs finance data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

Code samples

cURLbash
# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/finance/cik-ticker?cik=example&ticker=example'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/finance/cik-ticker?cik=example&ticker=example' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/finance/cik-ticker?cik=example&ticker=example'

MCP — Claude Desktop / AgentKit / any MCP hostjson
// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "2sio": {

      "args": ["-y", "@2sio/mcp"],
      "env": { "EVM_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..." }
    }
  }
}

// 2. Once the server is running, agents call this tool via standard MCP:

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the cik ticker API?
No. finance.cik-ticker is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the cik ticker API cost?
$0.0036 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the cik ticker API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call finance.cik-ticker from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
