EDGAR insider trades (Form 4)
GET /api/edgar-insider-tradesRecent Form 4 insider transactions filed against a company (officer, director, or 10% holder trades). Backed by EDGAR's full-text search (efts.sec.gov) filtered by subject-company CIK - Form 4 is owned by each insider's CIK, not the company's, so this is the only single-call path. ?ticker=AAPL&days=30
Input

|---|---|---|
ticker | string | US stock ticker (alternative to cik) |

Part of these workflows
This tool is one step in 5 curated multi-tool workflows - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.
- Financial research - Pull SEC filings, real-time quotes, historical prices, and macro context for a single ticker in one pass.
- SEC filings deep-dive - Pull the full EDGAR picture of a US public company in one workflow: recent filings, key financial time series, insider trades, and full-text search across the corpus.
- SEC regulatory monitoring - The 'who just filed / who just bought / what just IPO'd / what does the full-text search say' monitoring loop. Five EDGAR tools composed: full-text search for a keyword, surface recent filings on the matched companies, pull insider Form 4 transactions, pull 13F institutional holdings changes, and check the IPO calendar. Different from sec-filings-deep-dive (which goes deep on one company's earnings) - this is the wide-and-recent radar.
- Company dossier - Comprehensive company research report in one call: live quote, financials, SEC filings, insider trades, and recent news - all in parallel.
- Insider alert - Insider buying/selling activity for a stock: Form 4 trades, live quote, and recent SEC filings in one call.
