## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability answerpool-sec-insider-activity-summary-871eb54e
```

Example prompt: Give me the insider activity summary for Jefferies Financial Group (ticker JEF, CIK 0000096223) over the last 30 days — I want to see total buy and sell USD, how many insiders traded, and the biggest single purchase.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.005) net-buying signal for a single issuer before committing to pulling full transaction-level insider data. It is ideal for screening or alerting workflows where you only need aggregate buy/sell/net totals, filing counts, and largest transaction sizes — not individual transaction lines. Prefer the AnswerPool Insider Screen endpoint if you need market-wide screening across multiple issuers or want to filter by transaction code, owner role, or minimum USD at the individual trade level.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown CIK or ticker returns an error or empty result
- Window_days parameter out of supported range causes validation error
- No insider activity in the window returns zero values for all monetary fields
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC micropayment is not properly handled
- Stale index data if filings were very recently submitted to EDGAR

## How this service works

AnswerPool turns SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, USAspending, NIH, BLS and OpenAlex into structured JSON answers that AI agents and developers fetch in one call. 69 endpoints free, no account; derived analyses $0.02–$0.05 per call by card credits or USDC (x402). MCP server, full provenance.

## Output

A single JSON object containing the issuer's CIK, ticker, company name, as-of timestamp, window length in days, number of filings, number of distinct insiders, aggregate buy USD, aggregate sell USD, net USD (buy minus sell), largest single buy USD, and largest single sale USD. Useful as a lightweight net-buying signal before fetching full transaction-level detail.
