## 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 market-intelligence-api-insider-trades-54ad0139
```

Example prompt: Pull the insider trading signal for TSLA — I want to know if executives have been net buyers or sellers over the last 90 days, with a breakdown of each transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need SEC-sourced insider trading intelligence for a specific US equity — particularly before a trade or investment decision, when monitoring executive sentiment, or when researching whether key insiders are buying or selling. Prefer this over general news endpoints when you want structured, transaction-level Form 4 data rather than headlines. Not suitable for crypto assets or non-US equities.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid symbol returns an error or empty result
- Symbol not found in SEC filing database returns no transactions
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Non-US equity or crypto symbol may return no insider data
- Stale data if no recent Form 4 filings have been submitted
