# Add company

POST https://api.spreadspace.app/api/markets/companies
Content-Type: application/json

Adds a company to the workspace by its CIK, which must name a registrant the store knows (404 otherwise). The forms default to 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and S-1, the from year to the earliest year the store holds a filing of the company, follow to on; a company already in the workspace is 409. Needs `markets:write`.

Requires the `markets:write` scope. Rate limit: 200 requests per minute per key (the `api` lane).

Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/markets-companies/add

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer token. Use `ss_live_…` for live data or `ss_test_…` for the sandbox (test mode). See [Authentication](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/authentication).

## Request

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Idempotency token. Retries that reuse the key within 24h replay the original response. Up to 255 characters; a UUID is typical. See [Idempotency](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/idempotency).
- `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-10-07`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning).

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an AddMarketsCompanyRequest.

- `registrant_id` (string, required) — The registrant's id: its SEC CIK, one to ten digits, with or without its leading zeros.
- `forms` (list of string, optional, nullable) — The forms to gather, a non-empty subset of 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and S-1 in any case; all four when absent.
- `from_year` (integer, optional, nullable) — The first year of a filing's period end to show, 1994 to the current year; when absent, the earliest the store holds for the company, and 1994 when it holds none.
- `follow` (boolean, optional, nullable) — Whether the company's new filings reach the organization as events and webhooks; true when absent.

## Response

### 201

Created

- `registrant` (PublicRegistrantSummary, required) — The company's registrant, with how many of its filings the store holds, its newest filing date and its logo; named by its CIK when the store holds no registrant row for it.
- `forms` (list of string, required) — The forms gathered, among 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and S-1; an amendment follows its base form.
- `from_year` (integer, required) — The first year of a filing's period end the workspace shows.
- `follow` (boolean, required) — True when the company's new filings reach the organization as events and webhooks.
- `added_at` (datetime, required) — When the company joined the workspace.
- `status` (string, required) — `current`, or `updating` while the store holds a filing of the company it has fetched and not yet extracted.
- `comps` (list of MarketsCompRef, required) — The comps holding the company that the caller can see, by name.
- `latest_period` (date, optional, nullable) — The newest period end among the company's extracted filings that nothing has superseded; null when none qualifies.
- `status_period` (date, optional, nullable) — The report period of the newest such filing when the status is `updating`; null otherwise.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad Request

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized: the bearer token or API key is missing or invalid.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden: authentication succeeded but the caller is not permitted to perform this action, for example an API key missing the required scope, an embed session reaching a loan it was not minted for, or a feature outside the workspace's plan.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not Found

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests: the rate limit was hit, or an idempotency-key replay is still in progress.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal server error: an unexpected failure. Quote the `request_id` in support tickets. A mutation sent with an `Idempotency-Key` replays this fault under that key rather than re-running; confirm the resource state before resending with a new key.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

## Types

### PublicRegistrantSummary

A registrant in the public filings store, with what the store holds for it.

- `cik` (string, required) — The registrant's SEC Central Index Key, ten digits with its leading zeros.
- `name` (string, required) — The registrant's name as filed.
- `tickers` (list of string, required) — The registrant's ticker symbols; empty when it has none.
- `exchanges` (list of string, required) — The exchanges the tickers trade on, in the tickers' order; empty when none.
- `filing_count` (integer, required) — How many of the registrant's filings the store holds, in any state.
- `sic` (string, optional, nullable) — The registrant's four-digit Standard Industrial Classification code, when known.
- `sic_description` (string, optional, nullable) — The classification's description, when known.
- `state` (string, optional, nullable) — The registrant's state of location, when known.
- `fiscal_year_end` (string, optional, nullable) — The fiscal year end as MMDD, when known.
- `latest_filing_date` (date, optional, nullable) — The filing date of the newest filing the store holds; null when none carries a date.
- `logo_url` (string, optional, nullable) — The address of the registrant's logo, a square WebP image: a stored copy when one is kept, else the logo provider's image for the registrant's first ticker; null when the registrant has neither.

### MarketsCompRef

A comp holding a company, by name (2026-11-01).

- `id` (string, required) — The comp's id.
- `name` (string, required) — The comp's name.

### ApiErrorBody

Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

- `type` (enum, required) — Stable error type identifier, one of the values listed. Pattern-match on this value, not the human-readable message. A later version may add a value; treat one you do not know by its HTTP status.
  - Allowed values: `billing_required`, `business_email_required`, `conflict`, `counterparty_not_in_plan`, `cursor_expired`, `custom_visual_limit_exceeded`, `doc_too_large`, `embed_not_in_plan`, `embed_origin_not_allowed`, `embed_scope_exceeds_key`, `embed_scope_not_allowed`, `embed_session_binding_mismatch`, `embed_session_not_found`, `embed_token_expired`, `forbidden`, `geometry_plan_denied`, `html_upload_disabled`, `idempotency_in_progress`, `idempotency_request_mismatch`, `idempotency_response_too_large`, `insufficient_credits`, `insufficient_scope`, `internal_error`, `invalid_code`, `invalid_cursor`, `invalid_embed_token`, `invalid_include`, `invalid_limit`, `invalid_request`, `invalid_session_handle`, `invalid_version`, `key_expired`, `key_revoked`, `last_item`, `license_assigned`, `license_holder_has_license`, `license_none_free`, `license_reassign_window`, `licenses_assigned`, `markets_api_required`, `memo_locked`, `memo_not_locked`, `mfa_enrollment_required`, `mode_mismatch`, `not_found`, `payload_too_large`, `payment_failed`, `pii_claim_required`, `rate_limited`, `render_failed`, `request_cancelled`, `research_not_in_plan`, `resource_gone`, `same_origin_required`, `sandbox_missing`, `sandbox_organization`, `scope_not_in_product`, `scope_state_changed`, `session_handle_already_used`, `session_handle_expired`, `session_handle_revoked`, `spend_cap_reached`, `spread_already_finalized`, `spread_limit`, `spread_locked`, `spread_not_finalized`, `spread_not_locked`, `spread_not_ready`, `spread_template_limit_exceeded`, `spreads_not_in_plan`, `spreadsheet_upload_disabled`, `statement_mapping_not_in_plan`, `subscription_required`, `surface_limit_exceeded`, `test_key_remint_required`, `unauthorized`, `unknown_factor`, `unprocessable`, `usage_throttled`, `validation_failed`
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message. Subject to wording changes; do not parse.
- `code` (string, optional) — A finer, stable identifier within `type`, on the errors that carry one; absent otherwise. Pattern-match on it like `type`. The upload presign answers `not_found` with `loan_not_found` and `invalid_request` with `borrower_loan_mismatch`.
- `request_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Per-request correlation ID (matches `X-Request-ID` response header). Quote in support tickets.
- `details` (map from string to string, optional, nullable) — Structured detail. Some error types populate documented keys in every environment: a version conflict (409) carries `current_version`, the version the resource is actually at, so the client can reload and re-apply. Free-form diagnostic detail beyond those keys appears in development environments only. An `insufficient_credits` 402 carries `balance_usd`, `reserved_usd`, `in_flight_docs`, `incoming_docs` and `per_doc_reservation_usd` as decimal strings.
