SEC Insider Trading Scraper: Form 4 Buys & Sells

Track insider buying and selling straight from official SEC EDGAR Form 4 filings: who traded (CEO, CFO, director, 10% owner), open-market purchase or sale, shares, price, dollar value, holdings after the trade, and whether it was under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Look up any tickers, company names or CIKs (including a person or a fund, e.g. what Berkshire Hathaway bought), or leave the list empty to get insider trades across the whole market for any day or date range.

Data comes from SEC's own public endpoints (no third-party site, no login, no proxy), parsed from the filing XML, with a link to every filing.

What you can do with it

• Insider-buying alerts: schedule it daily with transaction type P and a minimum value to catch significant open-market purchases.
• Watchlist monitoring: follow insider activity at the companies you hold or cover.
• Research datasets: build a history of insider trades by company, role or transaction type.
• Screening: spot cluster buys (several insiders buying the same stock) across the whole market, today or any past window.
• Follow an investor: enter a fund's or a person's CIK to get every trade they reported as an insider of other companies.
• Compliance and IR: keep track of executive Section 16 filings at peer companies.
