## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-insider-trades-lookup-4e9166e4
```

Example prompt: Pull all insider trades for AAPL from January 1 to March 31 this year, and filter to show only open-market purchases (transaction code P).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to SEC Form 4 insider trading data filtered by ticker, CIK, date range, insider name, or transaction type — especially for financial research, compliance screening, or investment signal generation. Prefer this over scraping SEC EDGAR directly when you need structured JSON output with flexible filtering.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ticker symbol returns empty results or error
- Malformed date format (non-ISO YYYY-MM-DD) causes parameter rejection
- CIK not found in SEC EDGAR returns no results
- Very broad date ranges may return large payloads or time out
- Invalid transaction code enum value causes filter to be ignored or rejected
- No data available for the requested period returns empty result set

## How this service works

X402 micropayments server — AI agents pay USDC for OFAC screening, rates, and billing verification.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a list of insider trade records sourced from SEC EDGAR Form 4 filings, including insider name, transaction date, transaction type code, number of shares, and related company details, filtered according to the provided ticker/CIK, date window, and optional filters.
