Insider buying screener over recent SEC Form 4 filings: open-market buys or sells, filter by insider role (CEO, CFO, director), minimum dollar value, ticker and cluster buys (3+ insiders). One row per trade with shares, price, total value and ownership change.

Which Form 4 actor? This is the screener one — OpenInsider-style role and size filters over recent activity. For scheduled alerts use the Form 4 Monitor; for raw EDGAR XML use the Form 4 Scraper. Track Form 4 insider trades with role and size filters from SEC EDGAR, parsed into clean JSON. Built for analysts, funds, fintech builders and AI agents.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.01	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Form 4 record (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Charged per SEC Form 4 insider transaction record returned with filer, role, transaction type, shares, price, total value, post-transaction…

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.
