Insider Trading returns recent SEC Form 4 insider transactions for a US public company by ticker - who bought or sold, their role, the number of shares, price and transaction type - plus a derived insider-sentiment summary with net buy/sell activity and cluster-buy detection calculated for you.
The Insider Trading API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate insider trading functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready insider trading capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
