List insider transactions

Retrieve a paginated feed of SEC insider trading transactions from Forms 3, 4, and 5.

Data Source

This endpoint returns transactions reported by corporate insiders (officers, directors, and 10% owners) to the SEC. Each transaction represents a buy, sell, grant, gift, or other transfer of company securities.

Transaction Codes

The transactionCode field indicates the type of transaction:

Code	Description	Common Usage
P	Open market purchase	Most common buy signal
S	Open market sale	Most common sell signal
A	Award/grant	Stock compensation
M	Exercise of derivative	Options/warrants exercise
G	Gift	Transfer to family/charity
F	Tax payment	Shares sold for tax withholding
X	Exercise in-the-money	Options exercise

Filtering Tips

Use direction=buy to see only acquisitions (bullish signals)
Use direction=sell to see only dispositions
Use codes=P,S to see open market trades only (excludes awards, gifts)
Use derivative=false to see only equity transactions
Use minValue=100000 to see only large transactions

transactionValue: Computed total value (shares × price)
