It parses each ownership document into individual transactions and returns every field the filing exposes: who traded, the code and its plain-English meaning, shares, price, value, and the position held afterward, plus derived analytics like transactionValue, ownedValueAfter, ownershipChangePercent, and a Rule 10b5-1 plan flag.

What it does

The actor finds SEC Form 4 insider-ownership filings for a company (by ticker or CIK) or market-wide, parses each ownership document, and writes one record per individual transaction to the run's dataset. Each record identifies the issuer and the insider, their roles (director, officer with title, 10% owner), and the exact transaction: security type and title, date, transaction code with its plain-English meaning, whether shares were acquired or disposed, share count, price, and the position held afterward. Derived fields add the dollar value of the trade (transactionValue), the market value of the remaining position (ownedValueAfter), the percent change in the insider's holding (ownershipChangePercent), and a is10b51Plan flag for pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Document footnotes are returned in full.

Leave both ticker and cik empty to pull recent market-wide Form 4 filings. The date window defaults to about the last 30 days.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 40 NVIDIA insider transactions filed since the start of 2026.

{
  "ticker": "NVDA",
  "maxTrades": 40,
  "dateFrom": "2026-01-01"
}

Use transactionCode to keep only certain trade types (for example P, S for open-market buys and sells). Leave ticker and cik empty for a market-wide sweep.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-form4-insider-trades-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ticker":"NVDA","transactionCode":"P,S","dateFrom":"2026-01-01","maxTrades":50}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-form4-insider-trades-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"dateFrom":"2026-08-01","dateTo":"2026-08-08","maxTrades":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/sec-form4-insider-trades-scraper \
  --input '{"ticker":"NVDA","maxTrades":40,"dateFrom":"2026-01-01"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per transaction returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxTrades.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 transactions. Why? No Form 4 matched the ticker, date window, and code filter. The default window is only about 30 days, so widen dateFrom/dateTo, or drop transactionCode. Zero-result runs are not charged.

One filing produced several records. Why? One record equals one transaction. A single Form 4 often reports multiple non-derivative and derivative transactions, so it yields several records.

How do I see only open-market buys and sells? Set transactionCode to P, S. The transactionType field spells out each code in plain English.

What is the 10b5-1 flag? is10b51Plan is true when the filing references a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, a signal that the trade was scheduled in advance rather than opportunistic.

Can I scan the whole market? Yes. Leave both ticker and cik empty to pull recent market-wide Form 4 filings within the date window.

Is this an official SEC tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the SEC. It reads only data that is publicly available on SEC EDGAR.
