title: CEF Radar Search API
description: 'Everything CEF Radar says about a U.S. closed-end fund - who is targeting it, what it is asking holders to do and by when, what it costs, how much it borrows and what it holds - as plain JSON, read from public filings at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Every fact carries `as_of` and `source_url`; every answer carries a `notice` and a `Link: rel="terms-of-service"` header. Information, not advice. 100 requests a day per address without a key; `Authorization: Bearer ` raises the budget to the plan''s. Assistants have their own server (Model Context Protocol) at https://cefradar.com/mcp; a plain-text guide is at https://cefradar.com/llms.txt.'
