Live sample

Pick an instant, see what the world knew

Each moment below runs two cuts of the public record at two instants, calling /v1/sample live in your browser. No key is needed, and every response comes back watermarked sample: true. The two answers differ by exactly what became knowable in between, which is what the became_knowable call returns.

The playground answers from a pinned subset so it stays fast and free. The same calls behind a key read all seven sources, back to 2008-09-01 and forward to the last tape tick. Coverage, month by month.

SVB's receivership 8-K carries published_at 2023-03-10. At 2023-03-09T20:00:00Z the cut is empty and both sources are certified complete for that day, so the zero is SVB's filing count at that instant.

The four blocks on this page ship as responses captured from /v1/sample on 2026-08-26, so they read the same with scripting off. The page re-runs all four calls on load and replaces them.

Every answer above came back with the certificate it rests on, so a zero counts filings across days the corpus certifies, and a day it does not hold answers 409 instead. Ask a current news API about SIVB today and it hands you the 10 March 8-K whatever instant you name, so a run scoring 9 March reads a filing that was not public until the 10th.

These cuts run the production code path against real filings. A key opens the same calls over all seven sources and the live tape.
