## 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 vextorium-insider-trades-sec-form-4-d1d76e23 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 10 insider trades for NVDA from SEC Form 4 filings — show me who traded, whether they bought or sold on the open market, the price, shares, and total dollar amounts for open-market buys and sells.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, ready-to-use insider trading data from SEC Form 4 filings without parsing EDGAR XML yourself. Prefer it over scraping EDGAR directly when you need totals for open-market buys/sells and per-trade enrichment (USD value, position title) in a single call. Best for equity research, due diligence, and trading signal workflows targeting US-listed companies.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid ticker returns empty trades array
- Ticker not listed on a US exchange may yield no SEC Form 4 data
- limit out of range (must be 1–25) may return a validation error
- Network timeout or upstream SEC EDGAR outage
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request

## How this service works
