Insider Trading API


OVERVIEW

"Insiders" are people who may have valuable private information about a company according to their states. In terms of securities trading, any director, officer or any person who owns more than 10% of a company is an insider.


An insider may trade the shares, options and RSUs that they have, but when they do that, they must fill a SEC Form 4 – Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership – in a 2-days period after selling or buying securities, and this information becomes available for the public. Other investors may use that information for analytics — in general, when there are a lot of transactions made by insiders recently, it can be a bullish or bearish sign.

Each record includes the company’s symbol, date of transaction, transaction type (such as selling, purchasing, granting from the company, etc.), the person who made a transaction, security name, the amount of transaction, and how many securities this person has now.
