# SEC Insider Trades Lookup > SEC Insider Trades Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from x402-agent-api.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10). Returns Form 4 insider trading filings for a US public company, showing who bought or sold shares, at what price, and how much. ## Facts - Endpoint: POST https://x402-agent-api.onrender.com/api/v1/sec-insider-trades?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.005/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-10 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/sec-insider-trades-lookup-f92e9496 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_ZoZJup8HMwXxdEKwvIUVq Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## 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-insider-trades-lookup-f92e9496 -d '' ``` Example prompt: Show me the last 10 insider trades for Intel (ticker INTC) — specifically any open-market purchases by executives or directors since 2026-01-01. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need structured, parsed insider trading data from SEC Form 4 filings for a specific US public company, especially when you want filtering by transaction type (e.g. only open-market purchases), date range, or derivative inclusion. Prefer this over scraping SEC EDGAR directly because it parses raw XML into clean JSON with computed summaries. It is ideal for equity research agents, compliance monitors, or investment screening workflows that need insider sentiment signals quickly without managing SEC API authentication. ## Known failure modes - Company not found by name — returns list of matching tickers instead of trade data - No Form 4 filings found for given date range or transaction code filter — returns empty filings array - Invalid ticker format — schema validation error - CIK not recognized by SEC EDGAR — 404 or empty result - Payment not received — 402 response requiring USDC payment signature before data is returned ## How this service works Answers 'Are insiders buying or selling?'. A company's latest SEC Form 4 insider filings: who traded (role, title), each trade's code in plain English, shares, price, value and holdings after. Totals open-market buys and sells, and separates 10b5-1 plan sales and tax-withholding sales. Filter by date or code (P = purchase). By ticker, CIK or name. Not charged if nothing matches. $0.005 USDC per call. ## Output Returns a structured JSON response containing a list of Form 4 filings (newest first), each with insider name, roles, transaction code and meaning, date, shares transacted, price, total value, shares owned after, and ownership type. Also includes an aggregate summary of open-market purchases, open-market sales, planned 10b5-1 sales, and tax-withholding sales — with insider names, share counts, and USD values — plus suggested next API calls for further research. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "cik": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "string", "pattern": "^\\d{1,10}$" }, { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "exclusiveMinimum": 0 } ], "description": "SEC Central Index Key, e.g. 320193.
