> ## Agent Instructions
> SecId API: use the sandbox base URL https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/investors/v1/onboarding-reliance unless the user explicitly provides production access. Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 client credentials: POST https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/oauth2/token (form fields grant_type=client_credentials, client_id, client_secret, read from environment variables), cache the bearer token for its expires_in (7200 s) and send it as Authorization: Bearer on every call; never print or log the secret or the token.
> Nothing is verified until POST /investors/{investorId}/verification/submit. An individual: create, upload one identity document, submit. A company: create, add its people as key parties (at least one with isBeneficialOwner: true), upload their documents, submit.
> Branch on the HTTP status and the error `code`, never on `message`. A body without `code` comes from the gateway: on a 401 get a new token and send the request again; a 403 means the account is not enabled for this API.
> SecId API addresses: send address.state only when that address's countryCode is US, as the 2-letter state code (NY); omit it for any other country, also when the user has a province or region. Otherwise the call answers 400 validation_error on address.state.
> SecId API individuals in the US: taxId is the person's Social Security number, and it is checked against the name and residential address sent; send them as registered. A mismatch can move the investor to manual-review instead of verified. Sandbox does not run the check.
> Creates are safe to repeat with the same body: after a timeout or a 502, send the identical create again. Document uploads are not: each call stores a new document, so only re-send a document after a 502.
> Poll GET /investors/{investorId} about every 30 seconds, then back off; treat any status you do not recognise as not verified. In sandbox, the webhook investor.kyc.updated also announces every status change, and investor.suitability.updated / investor.dlt_test.updated every change of the suitability and DLT test verificationStatus: verify the signature, deduplicate on sourceEventId and confirm with the matching GET before acting. Token whitelisting is asynchronous too: poll GET /investors/{investorId}/wallets/whitelist until the status leaves processing.
> SecId API tax forms: POST /investors/{investorId}/tax-forms takes multipart/form-data (parts file, formType, signatureDate); never base64 or JSON. Let the HTTP client set content-type with the boundary. At any point of the verification, before or after the investor is verified, only for investors you created (201), one PDF up to 10 MB per call; each upload replaces the form on file, so after a 502 send the same request again. A W-9 can instead go as JSON fields to POST /investors/{investorId}/tax-forms/w9 (TIN as 9 digits, SSN or EIN): it does not replace a form on file (409 tax_form_already_active, details.activeTaxForm), and it requires a certification object (certifiedAt, signatureName, subjectToBackupWithholding false, isUSPerson true, certificationTextVersion w9-sm-2026-10): the investor certifies in your flow on the text published at /secid-api/tax-forms#the-certification, shown without changes; subjectToBackupWithholding true answers 422 business_rule_violation (details.reason backup_withholding_not_supported). Unlike creates, a repeat after success answers 409 tax_form_already_active, not 201: when details.activeTaxForm.formType is W-9, treat it as on file.
> Use synthetic test data in sandbox (@test.invalid emails, fresh ids each run). Never send more than one DLT test attempt per test investor unless the user asks: three failed attempts lock the test permanently.
> The complete contract, with every field, response and error, is the OpenAPI file of the API reference; the Errors page says what to do for each code.
> CET Underlying API: a WebSocket at wss://partners-rt-gw.sandbox.securitize.io/v1/market-maker/stream (TLS only; ws:// hangs with no answer). Sign hello, place_order, cancel_order and submit_crypto_funding with the user's Ed25519 key, read from an environment variable or secrets store; never print or log it. Sign timestamp + "." + type + "." + the exact payload string you send: serialise the payload once and embed that same string in the frame.
> CET Underlying API: send a unique requestId of at most 32 characters (a UUID without hyphens) on every message and match replies on it; frames without a requestId are pushes. Every amount is a decimal string, never a JSON number; compare amounts as decimals. Branch on the error code, never on message.
> CET Underlying API: an ack to place_order means taken, not filled. externalRef is the idempotency key; after an ack with status UNKNOWN or an UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE error, call get_order by externalRef before resending. Updates are delivered at most once: after any reconnect, read working orders back with get_order. Every order is placed by quantity. A buy must be a LIMIT order: quantity × limitPrice plus fees is held against your own available cash (get_cash_balance_v2), and a buy it does not cover, a MARKET buy or a notional order is refused (INVALID_ORDER). A sell must be placed by quantity, after its CETs reach the redemption wallet, or it is refused. mint_updated and burn_updated push mints and burns once they are on chain; after a gap, read them with get_mints and get_burns. The complete contract is the AsyncAPI file of the API reference.
> Stocks API (Beta): documented ahead of its release through the partner gateway; paths, fields and errors can change. Base URL https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/stocks/v1. Send x-api-key on every call and investorId on every call about an investor. Read the key from an environment variable; never print or log it, and never call the API from frontend code.
> Stocks API: an investor can trade only once the SecId API shows them verified, with verified suitability (and a passed DLT test in the EEA), and once their wallet on the stock's chain is linked with their signature of the agreement message, signed verbatim. There is no whitelisting call: the first trade whitelists the wallet.
> Stocks API: orders are fill or kill. GET /stocks/realtime-price, prepare within about 20 seconds (signedPrice), have the investor's wallet sign the returned transaction unchanged and sign-only (never send it), then submit it once with POST /stocks/execute-signed-transaction within 120 seconds. Amounts are raw base units as strings; USDC has 6 decimals. The outcome is on chain: follow transactionHash.
> Stocks API: production access requires a UI audit by Securitize Compliance of the live screens: the disclosures and the market data shown, the NBBO included.
> Corporate Actions API (Beta, 0.x): in development and subject to change; paths, fields, enumerations and event names can change before 1.0.0. Base URL https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/corporate-actions/v1. Get a bearer token with OAuth 2.0 client credentials at POST https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/oauth2/token (no scope, 2 hours), cache it, and send Authorization: Bearer on every call. Read the client id, secret and the webhook signing secret from environment variables; never print or log them, and never call the API from frontend code.
> Corporate Actions API: webhooks arrive signed with the Standard Webhooks scheme under the svix-id, svix-timestamp and svix-signature headers (HMAC-SHA256 over id.timestamp.raw body, base64, v1 prefix; the secret is base64 after whsec_). Verify before parsing, reject a timestamp more than 5 minutes off, answer 2xx within 10 seconds. Delivery is at least once and can be out of order: deduplicate on sourceEventId, keep the highest version per object (objectId), order by sequence per stream.id, and replace the object with data (never merge).
> Corporate Actions API: treat an unknown caType, reasonCode, eventType or enum value as informational, never as an error. A restriction ends only with ca.restriction.removed; expectedEnd is informational. marketStatus UNAVAILABLE means do not trade; the reason field carries a restriction reasonCode or a market reason such as PRE_MARKET. GET /tokens?status= filters by marketStatus (OPEN, CLOSED, UNAVAILABLE), not by the token's ACTIVE status.
> Corporate Actions API: the event routes are at https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/webhooks/v1 (not under /corporate-actions/v1) and cover every webhook family sent to the partner; filter with eventTypes=ca.* for corporate actions only. After an outage call POST /events/recover with since at the start of the outage (resends failed deliveries only), or page GET /events?since= (newest first, iterator paging, 90 days), then read state with GET /tokens/{tokenId}/status and GET /corporate-actions/{sourceCaId}. In sandbox, POST /sandbox/events with a scenario and one of your tokenIds publishes a scripted sequence at once; order the events by sequence, not by arrival.
> Investor Activity API: base URL https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/v1. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client credentials only (no API key): POST https://partners-api.sandbox.securitize.io/oauth2/token (no scope, 2 hours), cache the token, and send Authorization: Bearer on every call. The token identifies the investor account; there is no investor id to pass. Read the client id, secret and the webhook signing secret from environment variables; never print or log them, and never call the API from frontend code.
> Investor Activity API: every amount is an integer string in base units with a sibling decimals (human = amount / 10^decimals); parse with BigInt or a decimal type, never a float. Cash amounts (deposits, confirmations, payouts) are in the minor units of currencyId (1 = USD, decimals 2); token amounts (transactions, mintings, holdings) in the token's base units. Never add cash to tokens.
> Investor Activity API: reconcile a subscription by grouping GET /deposits?tokenId= on tokenIssuanceId and matching the transaction in GET /transactions?tokenId= with the same tokenIssuanceId (null on a deposit means not issued yet; null on a transaction means not an issuance). Each issuance has a deposit movement (cash in) and a liquidation movement (that cash applied to the tokens) for the same amount: count the cash once, by direction=deposit, never by adding every movement. Page with offset and limit (max 100) until offset + meta.length reaches meta.total; there is no tokenIssuanceId filter. Reconcile a redemption by txHash (transfer, investor.redemption.pending, payout sourceTransaction) and by the redemption's data.id across pending, confirmed, payout.initiated and payout.completed.
> Investor Activity API: webhooks arrive signed with the Standard Webhooks scheme under the svix-id, svix-timestamp and svix-signature headers (HMAC-SHA256 over id.timestamp.raw body, base64, v1 prefix; the secret is base64 after whsec_). Verify before parsing, reject a timestamp more than 5 minutes off, answer 2xx within 15 seconds. The body is {eventType, eventId, timestamp, data}: deduplicate on eventId (not svix-id), upsert by data.id, never move a record back to an earlier step, and treat an unknown eventType, processType or paymentMethod as informational. In webhooks a field with no value is absent; in endpoint answers it is null. After an outage page GET /webhook-events (newest first, iterator paging, optional eventType) back to the start of the outage.
> SecId hosted onboarding: instead of the API, a partner can send an investor to https://stocks.securitize.io/partners?tokenId=<stock token id>&partnerUrl=<return URL> (tokenAddress may replace tokenId; partnerUrl must be an absolute https URL, URL-encoded). Securitize runs identity verification, the investment profile and the wallet there. Nothing is appended to partnerUrl on return: check the wallet on chain before trading (Beta on Solana).

# Track a corporate action

> Follow a corporate action from announcement to completion: versions, corrections, postponements, cancellations and replacements.

A corporate action keeps one id, `sourceCaId`, for its whole life, and gets a new **version** on every change. Each version is published as one event whose `data` is the whole object as of that version, and can be read back at any time. Your job is to keep the latest version of each one and to react to what changed.

## The lifecycle

```
ANNOUNCED ─► CONFIRMED ─► ELECTION_OPEN ─► ENTITLEMENTS_FIXED ─► SETTLING ─► COMPLETED
                │                                                              
                └──► POSTPONED (dates cleared, until new ones are set)   ──► CANCELLED
```

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| `ANNOUNCED` | Published; terms may be `PRELIMINARY` with `null` values |
| `CONFIRMED` | Terms and dates confirmed; `dataCompleteness` is `COMPLETE` |
| `ELECTION_OPEN` | Holders can elect among `options` (corporate actions with options, and voluntary ones) |
| `ENTITLEMENTS_FIXED` | The entitlement snapshot was taken at `dates.snapshotTime` |
| `SETTLING` | Being executed: payment, multiplier change, delivery |
| `COMPLETED` | Terminal. `settlement` carries the contracts, transactions and totals |
| `POSTPONED` | Dates cleared; a later `ca.action.updated` sets new ones and the status resumes |
| `CANCELLED` | Terminal. `cancellationReason` says why |

Not every corporate action goes through every status: a mandatory cash dividend never opens an election, and ops-executed types can move straight from `CONFIRMED` to `SETTLING`.

## The events, version by version

| Event | What changed | Fields to read |
| - | - | - |
| `ca.action.created` | Version 1 | Everything. `supersedesCaId` when it replaces another |
| `ca.action.updated` | Terms completed, dates set, status confirmed, in the normal course | `changedFields` |
| `ca.action.corrected` | A published value was wrong | `changedFields`, `correctionReason` |
| `ca.action.postponed` | Dates moved or cleared | `dates`, `status` |
| `ca.action.status_changed` | The lifecycle moved: `ELECTION_OPEN`, `ENTITLEMENTS_FIXED`, `SETTLING` | `status` |
| `ca.action.cancelled` | Withdrawn, or replaced. Terminal | `cancellationReason`, `supersededByCaId` |
| `ca.action.completed` | Executed. Terminal | `settlement` |

Whatever the event, apply it the same way: if `version` is higher than what you hold, replace the object with `data`. `changedFields` lists the dot paths that differ from the previous version (`terms.grossAmountPerShare`, `dates.exDate`) so you can tell what to show or notify.

A dividend, through five versions:

```
v1  ca.action.created         ANNOUNCED   PRELIMINARY  terms.grossAmountPerShare: null
v2  ca.action.updated         CONFIRMED   COMPLETE     changedFields: [dataCompleteness, status, terms.grossAmountPerShare, terms.paymentAsset]
v3  ca.action.corrected       CONFIRMED                changedFields: [terms.grossAmountPerShare]   correctionReason: "Rate corrected per issuer press release"
v4  ca.action.postponed       POSTPONED                changedFields: [dates.exDate, dates.payDate, dates.recordDate, dates.snapshotTime, status]   dates: null
v5  ca.action.cancelled       CANCELLED                changedFields: [status]   cancellationReason: "Withdrawn by issuer"
```

## Replacements

When an issuer withdraws an event and announces a new one, the new corporate action is a **new** `sourceCaId` with `supersedesCaId` pointing at the old one, and the old one is cancelled in the same instant with `supersededByCaId` pointing at the new one. Two events, two objects, one step. Keep both: the old one is the audit trail, the new one is what applies.

Several corporate actions can be active on one asset at the same time, for example a dividend and a shareholder meeting. Each has its own id; `relatedCaIds` links the ones that belong together, such as a merger and its appraisal option.

The object has no `tokenId`: a corporate action is registered once per asset and applies to every chain. The events carry the `tokenId` of the stream they were published on.

* **Any version, as published**: `GET /corporate-actions/{sourceCaId}/versions/{version}` returns the object as it stood at that version, which is what the event of that version carried in `data`.
* **Everything on a token**: `GET /tokens/{tokenId}/corporate-actions`, latest version of each, with `status`, `caType`, `from` and `to` filters. `from`/`to` match a corporate action when any of its dates falls in the range.

## Reading the terms

`terms` depends on `caType`; `options` and `venueActions` tell you what holders and your venue need to do. [Corporate actions](https://developers.securitize.io/corporate-actions-api/corporate-actions.md) lists the terms of each type. Three things hold for all of them:

* **Amounts are decimal strings.** Parse them as decimals, never as floats.
* **Every published date and, for cash distributions and splits, every term is always present**, `null` when not known or not applicable. `dataCompleteness` says whether anything is still `null` because it is pending.
* **A `caType` you do not know is informational.** Store it, show `description` and `documents` if `venueActions.displayToHolders` is set, and keep applying versions.

## Dates to watch

| Date | What happens |
| - | - |
| `dates.snapshotTime` | The entitlement cut-off for CET holders: 8:00 pm New York time on the business day before the ex-date or record date. CETs trade around the clock, so it is an instant, and it can differ from the underlying's record date |
| `dates.exDate`, `dates.recordDate`, `dates.payDate` | The underlying's market dates, `YYYY-MM-DD` on the New York calendar |
| `dates.effectiveTime` | When a split's multiplier changes, or a conversion or merger takes effect |
| `dates.responseDeadline` | Securitize's deadline for an election, earlier than the market's |
| `venueActions.lpExitDeadline` | When liquidity must be withdrawn from pools before a forced withdrawal |

What is settled, and where, is in `settlement` on the `COMPLETED` version: distribution contracts, transaction hashes and aggregate totals for the asset. Individual payments are read on chain, from those contracts and the holders' balances.
