## 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-sec-insider-trades-ff0b090d
```

Example prompt: Pull SEC Form 4 insider trading data for TSLA over the last 90 days — I want to know if executives and directors are net buyers or sellers and what signal it gives.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to gauge corporate insider sentiment for a specific US-listed stock based on official SEC Form 4 disclosures. It is ideal for pre-trade research, portfolio monitoring, or any workflow where knowing whether executives and directors are net buyers or sellers is decision-relevant. Prefer it over news-based sentiment signals when you want regulatory-grade, transaction-level evidence of insider conviction.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid ticker returns 404 and no charge is made
- Days parameter outside 1–365 range returns a validation error
- Ticker has no SEC filings (non-US or OTC-only) returns 404
- Network timeout or upstream SEC data unavailability may return 5xx

## How this service works

Insider trades of a US stock (SEC Form 4, e.g. TSLA, NVDA): executives' and directors' open-market buys and sales in USD over days=1-365, 10b5-1 plan share, per-insider totals, recent transactions and a signal (CLUSTER_BUYING, NET_BUYING, PLANNED_SELLING, NET_SELLING). Use to see whether insiders are buying or selling.

## Output

A JSON object containing open-market insider buy and sell totals in USD, 10b5-1 plan share breakdown, per-insider summaries, a list of recent transactions with dates and amounts, and a top-level directional signal (CLUSTER_BUYING, NET_BUYING, PLANNED_SELLING, or NET_SELLING) for the requested ticker over the specified look-back window.
