accession, filing_url, form type, and period fields to confirm the filing identity.
Pagination or truncation fields before assuming the returned text is complete.

401 or 403: the API key is missing, expired, or not allowed to use this tier.
429: retry after the rate-limit window, and prefer broader batch or series tools over repeated single-period calls.
