Insider Trading Feed — SEC Form 4 Buys & Sells as Clean JSON

When executives buy their own stock, you want to know. One call per company: every recent SEC Form 4 filing parsed into structured insider transactions — who bought or sold, how many shares, at what price, and what they hold now.

Most EDGAR scrapers hand you raw filing lists. This Actor answers the question investors actually ask: "Are insiders buying or dumping this stock — and how much?"

Why this beats raw filings

• The signal, pre-filtered: by default only open-market buys (P) and sells (S) — the codes with information value. Grants, option exercises and gifts are noise unless you ask for them.
• Role context included: a CEO buying is not the same as a 10%-owner rebalancing. isDirector / isOfficer / officerTitle / isTenPercentOwner on every filing.
• Totals computed: buyValueUsd vs sellValueUsd per window — the insider-sentiment ratio in one glance.
• Official source, auditable: parsed live from SEC EDGAR, every filing carries its official URL and accession number.

Use cases

• Investors / quants: daily watchlist sweep — alert when net insider buying turns positive.
• Research / journalism: who sold before the crash, with documents linked.
• AI agents: "did any NVDA insiders buy this month?" — one tool call, structured answer.
• Screeners: feed 25 tickers per run, rank by buyValueUsd.

FAQ

Is this investment advice? No. It is structured public regulatory data (SEC Form 4). What it means for a stock is your call.

How fresh is it? Form 4 must be filed within 2 business days of the transaction; this Actor reads EDGAR live, so you see filings minutes after they land.

Foreign companies? Any company that files Form 4 with the SEC (US-listed, including ADRs of foreign issuers that file).
