# Corporate default events labeled from SEC filings: answers "which public

`GET /v1/corporate-default-events`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.alphanume.com`
- URL: `https://api.alphanume.com/v1/corporate-default-events`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer

Corporate default events labeled from SEC filings: answers "which public
companies just defaulted on an obligation, and on what terms?" One row per default
event: ticker, event date, source filing URL, plus enriched fields extracted from
the filing text -- event type, the obligation's name and type, creditor name,
principal outstanding, amount accelerated, missed payment amount, stated default
date, grace period end, whether acceleration was declared, and a confidence score
with the supporting evidence quote. Fields are null where the filing text did not
explicitly support them.

Use it for distressed screening, credit event studies, or monitoring a date range
for fresh defaults.

Requires an Alphanume Pro API key. A 403 PRO_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED or
DATE_RANGE_RESTRICTED error means the key's plan does not cover the request --
it does not mean the data is missing.

## Query parameters

- `date` string
- `date_gte` string
- `date_lte` string
- `date_gt` string
- `date_lt` string

## Response `200`

Matching rows.

- Envelope
  - `count` integer, required
  - `data` object[], required

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid or conflicting query parameters.
- `401`: Missing or unrecognized API key.
- `403`: PRO_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED: the key's plan does not include API access; every endpoint requires an active Pro subscription. DATE_RANGE_RESTRICTED: a legacy free-tier key asked for dates outside its window. In both cases the data is not missing.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded (600/min); the body carries retry_after_seconds.
