# Single executive order detail

`GET /policy-events/{externalId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public`
- URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public/policy-events/{externalId}`
- Auth: API key in header `X-Api-Key`

Full detail for one executive order plus the reverse join: officials
whose flagged trades store this order as their nearest event within the
requested lens. Defaults to trades 1-14 days BEFORE the signing date —
day 0 is always excluded (intraday ordering is unknowable).

Trader rows are sector-level co-occurrence and are restatements of
public disclosures. A match is a starting point for research, never
evidence of wrongdoing.

**Credit cost: 3**
