Using the API Ticker call for ticker "WBD", it returns CIK 1085223, which actually belongs to an old company Switchboard Inc (ticker SWBD).
SWBD is an obsolete company, their last filing was in 2005. Since they have "WBD" as part of their ticker, seems like SEC-API inadvertently grabbed this as the first/correct company.
When I use the SEC-API.io sandbox website for ticker WBD, it returns the correct CIK for Warner Brothers Discover, 1437107.
