Problem
--tickers filtering matches the ticker string across every exchange, so common US tickers silently pull in foreign namesakes — interleaved in the same result set, with no company name attached (see also the --expand company issue). Collisions actually hit in production agent runs:
| Ticker asked |
Also/instead returned |
ACA (Arcosa) |
Crédit Agricole (ENXTPA: ACA), interleaved |
BLD (TopBuild) |
Boral (ASX: BLD) |
CE (Celanese) |
Credito Emiliano (BIT: CE) |
WM (Waste Management) |
Wallbridge Mining (co 21404) |
COST (Costco) |
Costain Group (co 12590) |
TEL (TE Connectivity) |
Telenor |
AVNT (Avient) |
Avant Brands (TSX) |
The reliable recipe agents converged on: companies list --tickers X → pick the right companyId → events list --company-ids N. That's two calls plus a human-judgment join for what should be one call.
Two adjacent gaps make resolution harder than it needs to be:
companies list has no --search/name lookup — only --tickers / --ciks. (And CIK mapping has its own landmines: Cornerstone's CIK 0001061630 resolved to Blackstone Mortgage.)
- Duplicate tickers in one
--tickers list make the CLI error out — trivially fixable by deduping client-side before the request.
Proposed fixes
- Add an exchange/market filter (
--exchange NYSE, or --tickers NYSE:BLD syntax) if the API supports it; otherwise filter client-side via the company join.
- Add a
quartr companies resolve <ticker-or-name> convenience (or --search on companies list) that prints candidates with id/name/exchange so the disambiguation is one step.
- Dedupe the
--tickers list before building the request instead of erroring.
- Document the collision hazard + the companies-first recipe in
--help/README until then.
