## 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 dopaminedesk-insider-trades-api-376e55b8
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all recent insider trades for Amazon (AMZN) and show me which executives have been buying shares?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable insider trading data for a specific stock, particularly when building investment research workflows, due diligence pipelines, or monitoring tools that track executive sentiment via Form 4 filings. Prefer this over scraping SEC EDGAR directly for agent-ready, pre-parsed output with USDC micropayment settlement.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns empty trades array or error
- No trades found for the given filter returns an empty array
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests in a short window
- Data may lag behind real-time SEC filings by hours or days

## How this service works

Retrieve official recent SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5 filing metadata and links. Transaction amounts are not parsed.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the queried ticker symbol and an array of insider trade records, each with the insider's name, title, trade date, number of shares, price per share, total transaction value, and whether it was a buy or sell.
