Insider Transactions

Open-market trades, option exercises, RSU vesting, gifts, and tax-withholding events by corporate insiders — officers, directors, and 10%+ owners — disclosed on SEC Forms 4 and 5. Pulled from EDGAR and normalized with the insider, their role, the SEC transaction code, shares, price, and total value.

Filters

ticker	Stock symbol, e.g. `AAPL`. Case-insensitive.
company_cik	SEC CIK (10-digit, zero-padded) — alternative to ticker.
officer_name	Full or partial insider name; case-insensitive substring.
transaction_type	`buy` or `sell`.
transaction_codes	OR-filter on raw SEC codes — `['P']` open-market buys, `['S']` sales, `['M']` option exercises.
is_derivative	`true` for options / RSUs / warrants, `false` for common-stock rows.
min_value	Only trades with `total_value` ≥ this amount (USD).
aff10b5one	10b5-1 trading-plan flag — `'1'` = plan adopted, `'0'` = none.
since / until	ISO dates (`YYYY-MM-DD`) bounding the window.
include_baseline	Also return matching Form 3 initial-ownership baselines.
include_non_open_market	Include gifts, transfers, conversions, and tax-withholding events alongside open-market trades.
data_source	`bulk_v2` (default — full SEC bulk corpus) or the legacy collection.

Advanced (bulk_v2) filters: reporting_owner_name, reporting_owner_cik, row_type, trans_codes, schema_era, plus sort_by / sort_order / limit — see the OpenAPI spec.
