# Recent congressional trades

`GET /senate-insiders/discovery/recent-trades`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public`
- URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public/senate-insiders/discovery/recent-trades`
- Auth: API key in header `X-Api-Key`

Returns the most recent STOCK Act disclosed transactions across all
politicians, newest first, merging congressional and executive-branch
filings. Each row carries the trading politician, ticker, transaction
type and date, disclosure date, filing delay, and disclosed amount
range. Filter by direction (buy/sell) and chamber.

**Owner and dates as filed.** `owner` is the owner AS STATED; `null`
means the filing (or our upstream) did not state one — render it as
"Not stated", never as "Self". `transactionDateSuspect: true` marks a
congressional trade whose transaction date is very probably a mistyped
year upstream (it lags its own on-time filing's median by ~one year);
the date is shown as filed, its filing delay is `null` (not measured)
and it is never flagged late.

**Credit cost: 3**
