Endpoint Reference

Base URL: https://live-sec-form-4-insider-trades.p.rapidapi.com

GET /api/insider-trades

Returns the most recent Form 4 filings, newest first. With a ticker, returns filings for that issuer. Without one, returns the latest Form 4s filed across the whole market. EDGAR serves at most 100 filings per query, so that is the ceiling for limit.

Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
ticker	string	No	—	Stock ticker, e.g. AAPL, MSFT, TSLA. Omit for the market-wide feed.
limit	integer	No	50	Maximum filings to return, 1 to 100.

Response

A JSON object with a results array of filings.

Field	Type	Description
results	array	Filing objects, see below
results[].title	string	EDGAR entry title. For a ticker query this is the form type and description. For the market-wide feed it names the reporting person or issuer.
results[].updated	string (date-time)	Filing timestamp, ISO 8601 with US Eastern offset
results[].link	string	URL of the filing index on sec.gov, which links to the full Form 4 document
