## 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 edgar-insider-trades-by-ticker-fa8f81ac
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the most recent insider trades for NVDA from the last 30 days — I want to see what officers and directors have been buying or selling?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single-call solution to retrieve Form 4 insider trading activity for a specific US public company by ticker or CIK; it handles the non-trivial EDGAR lookup (Form 4 is indexed under the insider's CIK, not the company's) so you don't need to chain multiple EDGAR calls yourself

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ticker returns empty results or error
- CIK not found for given ticker if ticker-to-CIK resolution fails
- days parameter out of 1-365 range returns validation error
- limit parameter out of 1-100 range returns validation error
- No Form 4 filings found within the lookback window returns empty array
- EDGAR API downtime causes upstream fetch failure

## How this service works

Recent Form 4 insider transactions filed against a company (officer, director, or 10% holder trades). Backed by EDGAR's full-text search (efts.sec.gov) filtered by subject-company CIK - Form 4 is owned by each insider's CIK, not the company's, so this is the only single-call path. ?ticker=AAPL&days=30

## Output

A list of Form 4 filings for the specified company, each containing insider identity, role, transaction date, shares traded, price, and transaction type (buy/sell), sourced directly from SEC EDGAR full-text search
