# Recent SEC Form 4 insider transactions for a US public...

`GET /api/finance/insider-trades`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/finance/insider-trades`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Recent SEC Form 4 insider transactions for a US public company by ticker. Returns parsed transactions: insider name + relationship (director, officer/title, 10%+ owner), transaction date, SEC code (P=purchase, S=sale, A=grant, D=disposition, M=exercise, F=tax-withholding, G=gift), security title, shares, price/share, total USD value, post-transaction balance, direct vs indirect ownership. Each filing pulled separately and parsed from raw XML — bounded by limit (1-10, default 5). Backed by SEC.gov; underlying Form 4 filings are public records. For insider trades + filings + fundamentals merged by ticker in one call, see /api/finance/company-profile.

## Query parameters

- `ticker` string, required
- `limit` integer
- `trial` 1

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `404`: Not found — NOT_FOUND (or NO_SOURCES / NO_OPINIONS): the requested entity does not exist. Not charged.
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
