State formation context routes to 51 rows with JSON, CSV, notebook, and citation reuse.
All public rows are available for audit, download, or reuse.

Use this endpoint's dataset-specific filters rather than market scope.
State formation context declares source custody in its endpoint contract.
State formation context has no shared market-report parameter.
Open data needs public interpretation.
The API is a starting point, not a legal conclusion. Pair downloads with methodology notes, source records, and the data-gaps report when citing market concentration.
