## 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 govparse-sec-form-4-insider-transactions-search-3e31067b
```

Example prompt: Pull the 25 most recent insider buy transactions for DELL from SEC Form 4 filings, filtering for director or officer roles on non-derivative shares worth at least $100,000, sorted by transaction date descending.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need granular, individual Form 4 transaction-level data filterable by direction, transaction code, role, and dollar value — especially for building insider trading signals, monitoring specific insiders, or auditing filing activity. Prefer this over aggregated insider cluster signals when you need the raw per-transaction detail as filed with the SEC.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ticker symbol returns empty result set rather than an error
- Unrecognized transaction code or role enum value may return 400 bad request
- Date format not matching YYYY-MM-DD returns a validation error
- Limit exceeding 100 is capped or rejected
- Offset beyond available records returns empty array
- Issuer CIK not matching any filings returns empty results
- min_value as non-numeric string may cause parsing error

## How this service works

What did a company's insiders actually file? Search individual SEC Form 4 transaction lines by ticker, issuer CIK, insider name, direction (buy/sell/other), transaction code (P/S/A/M/F/G), role (officer/director/ten_percent), state, security type, minimum value, or date. Returns the insider, role, security, code, shares, price, and value per filing — the raw feed behind the cluster signal. Public SEC filings as filed — observational, not advice.

## Output

Returns an array of individual Form 4 transaction line items, each containing the insider's name, role (officer/director/ten_percent), security type (nonderiv/deriv), SEC transaction code (P/S/A/M/F/G), number of shares, price per share, total transaction value, transaction date, and filing date — representing raw SEC-as-filed data.
