SEC Insider Trading Tracker

Track SEC Form 4 insider buy/sell transactions for any stock watchlist — pulled directly from SEC EDGAR, no third-party data broker in between.

What you get

For every ticker you watch, this Actor pulls all Form 4 filings reported within your lookback window and returns a clean row per transaction:

• Insider name, title, and relationship (director / officer / 10%+ owner)
• Transaction date, SEC transaction code (P = open-market buy, S = sale, A = award/grant, etc.)
• Shares traded, price per share, and total transaction value
• Shares owned after the transaction
• A notable flag for trades above a value threshold you set
• A cluster buy signal flagging when 2+ different insiders bought on the open market for the same ticker within your window — often a stronger signal than any single trade

Why this instead of a screener site

Most "insider trading" sites republish EDGAR data behind a paywall or a delay. This Actor reads straight from data.sec.gov, so you get the same data SEC itself publishes, on your own schedule, exportable as JSON/CSV/Excel, and pipeable into your own alerts, spreadsheets, or trading research.

Who this is for

Retail investors and researchers who want a lightweight insider-activity signal for a watchlist, without paying for a dedicated insider-trading terminal. Also useful as a scheduled daily/weekly check feeding a Slack or email digest.

How to use it

1. Add the ticker symbols you want to watch (e.g. AAPL, TSLA, MSFT).
2. Set your lookback window (default 14 days) and notable-transaction threshold (default $50,000).
3. Run it. Each ticker is checked against its real SEC CIK and all matching Form 4 filings in the window are parsed.
4. Schedule it daily/weekly on Apify to build a running insider-activity log.

FAQ

Does this need SEC login or an API key? No. SEC EDGAR's data endpoints are public.

How far back can I look? Up to 90 days per run. For longer history, run it with a wider window or schedule it to accumulate a dataset over time.

What if a ticker has no insider activity in my window? You still get one row confirming it was checked, so you can tell "no activity" apart from "not checked."
