Executive changes

GET/api/v2/events-executive-changesUS only

Coverage: US (classification enums unified across markets)
Billing: 20 cr / thousand calls

One row = one executive change (executive_change / director_change / auditor_change within event_class = governance). The endpoint restates only disclosed facts: who, which role, appointment or departure, and the effective date; it does not profile individuals. The other three governance types (articles_amendment / name_change / equity_incentive) appear only on the /events timeline.

When ticker is omitted, the endpoint scans across companies: role_type=cfo&action=departure combined with from / to returns every CFO departure in a given period.
The endpoint does not offer cross-company queries by person name (no person= parameter), preventing public filings from being used to build cross-company personal profiles.
role_type / action / reason are the flattened form of the envelope's axis, with the same values.

Shared events conventions

Ad hoc corporate disclosure events: financings, deals and agreements, executive changes, corporate actions, changes in major shareholder holdings, and more. Classification is not broken out by each market's regulatory forms; it is defined by "what about the company changed": the source category code is preserved as-is in source_category, and the public contract uses one canonical set of event_class / event_type (9 classes / 42 types; see OpenAPI for the full enums and each type's fields). Onboarding a new market only adds mappings; the endpoints are unchanged.

The data covers only US-listed companies: a non-US ticker returns 404; when ticker is omitted, the endpoint scans all companies on record. The six endpoints share one parameter set and one set of common envelope fields. /events is the unified timeline that carries only the common envelope; each of the five typed endpoints serves one group of event types (the last column of the table) and adds that group's own fields on top of the envelope.

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
ticker	string	optional	Up to 10 values, comma-separated; when omitted, the endpoint scans across companies (for example "all CFO departures in the last 90 days"); combine with from / to. The market is carried by the canonical ticker itself, so there is no market parameter. Default Entire market.
event_type	string	optional	executive_change \| director_change \| auditor_change; accepts multiple comma-separated values. Default All.
from	date	optional	Start of the event date (event_date) range, inclusive; for a single day, set from = to.
to	date	optional	End of the event date range, inclusive.
role_type	string	optional	ceo cfo coo chair director other; accepts multiple comma-separated values. Default All.
action	string	optional	appointment \| departure \| role_change. Default All.
limit	int	optional	Maximum 500. Default 50.
page	int	optional	Starts at 1. Default 1.

Sorted event_date desc, accession_number desc, then row order within one filing. Paged with limit and page (pages start at 1); fewer rows than limit means the last page.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
event_id	string	Id of a single event; the same value on the typed endpoints and on the timeline
ticker	string	canonical ticker
market	string	Canonical market code
event_class	string	Canonical enum from the table above (9 classes)
event_type	string	Canonical enum from the table above (42 types)
axis	object	Key-value object holding the secondary axis of that type (for example a profit warning, {"direction":"down"}, or a revolving credit facility, {"instrument":"revolver","action":"new"}); for a type with no axis, the value is {}. See OpenAPI for the full set of keys and value domains. Typed endpoints flatten the common axes into top-level fields (instrument / action / subtype…), with the same values as axis; on the timeline, classification detail such as the direction of a profit warning or a trading halt and resumption action is only in this field
source_category	string	The market's native category code, preserved as-is: for US, the 8-K item (8-K:2.03; when several items are triggered, they are joined with commas) or the 13D/G form name (SC 13D / SC 13G)
event_date	date	Event date (signing / resolution / closing); the only date axis in this group
title	string	One-sentence title
stage	string	Lifecycle stage: announced approved amended completed terminated; the multi-stage filings of every market (proposal → shareholder meeting → approval → completion, and so on) all map onto this set
event_group_id	string	The successive filings of the same deal / financing / executive change share one id
is_current	bool	Whether the row is the latest version within the same event_group_id
accession_number	string	Native document number from the official source (US: SEC accession; JP: EDINET docID; CN: cninfo announcement id), or the equivalent filing number
form_type	string	One of the four provenance fields: the source filing type
filing_url	string	One of the four provenance fields: deep link to the official document
filing_date	date	One of the four provenance fields: the filing date
person_name	string	Name of the person involved (for auditor_change, the audit firm name), as filed
role	string	Role title as filed
role_type	string	Normalized role: ceo cfo coo chair director other; uses the same role_type enum as /executives.
action	string	appointment \| departure \| role_change
reason	string	resignation / retirement / termination / death / other; classified only from the wording of the filing, not inferred
effective_date	date	Effective date (may differ from the envelope's event_date)
successor_name	string	Successor's name; null when not disclosed
is_interim	bool	Whether the successor is acting / interim

Authentication, conventions, rate limits and error shapes are the same for every endpoint — they live on REST API.
