SEC Insider Transaction Intelligence

Analyze SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5 insider ownership filings using official EDGAR data.

The actor resolves ticker symbols to CIKs, reads issuer submissions, downloads ownership XML documents, and emits normalized transaction rows for insider purchases, sales, grants, option exercises, and derivative transactions.

What It Does

• Resolve tickers or CIKs through SEC company_tickers.json
• Scan issuer submissions for Forms 3, 4, and 5
• Download ownership XML from SEC Archives
• Extract owner role, transaction code, shares, price, value, ownership type, and filing URLs
• Optionally include holding rows from the same ownership documents

Notes

This actor uses official public SEC data. It does not scrape private data, bypass access controls, or infer trading intent beyond the reported Form 3/4/5 fields.
