Get Insider Transactions

Read-only6 parameters

What it does

Get detailed insider transaction history for a company from Form 4 filings. Returns individual buy/sell transactions with insider name, title, shares, price, and transaction codes. Supports pagination for companies with extensive insider activity. Filter by year/month to narrow results, or use transactionCode to find only purchases (P), sales (S), etc. Useful for identifying "first insider buy since X" patterns.

IMPORTANT: each row's sharesOwnedFollowing is the holding on THAT row's ownership line only (securityTitle + directOrIndirect + natureOfOwnership), NOT the insider's total position — insiders often report several lines. holdingsByInsider lists every line with its as-of filing; its sumOfReportedLines is not beneficial ownership (lines can be stale).

Never compute a "% of position" from one row; use 13D/13G totals, or omit the percentage. A trade re-reported in a later filing is listed once.
