# Filing credentials verification

`GET /fm/{cik}/verify`

The filing credentials verification API provides the ability to view filing credentials for an EDGAR account/CIK. The API GET method requires
the filer API token and the user API token in the header along with the relevant CIK in the path of the URL. The individual associated with
the user API token must be a user, account administrator, delegated user, or delegated account administrator of the CIK for which the filing
credentials are to be verified. The filer API token supplied for the request must either match the CIK for which filing
credentials are to be verified or the CIK of the filer API token must have delegation from that CIK.
