## 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 insider-trades-form-4-us-stock-insider-transactions-f8d60de4
```

Example prompt: Show me the last 20 insider transactions at Nvidia (NVDA) from SEC Form 4 filings — open-market buys and sells only, so I can see if executives are actually putting their own money in.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, ready-to-use insider transaction data from SEC Form 4 filings without parsing EDGAR yourself. Ideal for investment research workflows, screening for insider-buying signals, or monitoring executive behavior at specific US-listed companies. The buys_sells_only flag makes it especially efficient for isolating high-conviction open-market trades. Prefer this over raw EDGAR scraping for speed and structured output.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker/CIK returns an error or empty result
- Limit value outside 1–40 range may cause a validation error
- Company with no recent Form 4 filings returns an empty list
- Service unavailability (Render cold start) may cause slow or failed responses
- Network timeout on the hosted Render instance

## How this service works

Recent insider transactions at a US company from SEC Form 4 filings: insider name and role (CEO, director, 10% owner), buy/sell/award/option exercise, shares, price, value, shares held after and filing link. Set buys_sells_only to see open-market trades only. Use for insider-buying signals.

## Output

A list of recent SEC Form 4 insider transactions for the requested company, each including the insider's name, title/role (e.g. CEO, director, 10% owner), transaction type (purchase, sale, award, option exercise), number of shares, price per share, total transaction value, shares held after the transaction, and a link to the original SEC filing.
