## 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 sec-form-4-insider-trades-lookup-85a6f59d
```

Example prompt: Pull the most recent 50 insider trades for NVDA — I want to see which directors and officers have been buying or selling shares, along with the price and dollar value of each transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need SEC Form 4 insider transaction data for a specific US-listed stock, including shares traded, price, and dollar value, to assess smart-money signals. Prefer this over general news or sentiment endpoints when the user specifically wants to know what company insiders (directors, officers) are doing with their own shares.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result set
- Ticker for a non-US or OTC stock may not have SEC Form 4 data
- Limit parameter exceeding 10,000 may be rejected or capped
- No recent Form 4 filings available for thinly traded or small-cap stocks
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
