## 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-transactions-c6dc60ce -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull all insider transactions for Jefferies Financial Group (ticker JEF) since August 1, 2026 — I want to see the date, transaction code, shares, price, USD value, and whether any were under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, including derivatives.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, pre-parsed insider transaction data from SEC Form 4/5 filings for a specific issuer without writing your own EDGAR XML parser. It is faster and cheaper than fetching and parsing raw ownershipDocument XML per filing, and includes computed fields like USD value and role flags. Prefer this over a generic EDGAR full-text search when you specifically need transaction-level detail (price, shares, code, 10b5-1) rather than filing metadata alone.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid ticker/CIK returns empty transaction list
- Date range too broad may result in large payload or timeout
- No transactions found in the requested window returns count:0
- Malformed since parameter returns 400 or empty result
- Ticker not mapped to CIK may return no results — prefer CIK for accuracy
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429

## 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

Returns a JSON object with a list of parsed insider transaction records for the requested issuer, each containing: transaction date, SEC transaction code (e.g. P for purchase, S for sale), number of shares, price per share, total USD value, security name, post-transaction share holdings, owner name and CIK, officer title, director/officer/10% owner role flags, Rule 10b5-1 plan flag, derivative flag, accession number, and a direct link to the SEC filing. Also returns metadata: as-of timestamp, since-filter used, transaction count, and index start time.
