Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Form4API — SEC Insider Trading Tools (35)

research_company

Bundled insider-research context for one ticker in a single call — company profile, recent transactions, cluster signals, sentiment, and a computed buy/sell direction summary. Replaces 4 separate calls and degrades gracefully when a section needs a higher plan

get_transactions

Search insider transactions — filter by ticker, insider, date range, transaction codes or whole categories (`exclude_category=derivatives`), 10b5-1 plan trades, a dollar floor (`min_value`), the 13F ownership trend (`inst_ownership_trend`), or use `significant=true` for real discretionary buys/sell…

get_recent_filings

Most recent Form 4 filings, optionally filtered by ticker

list_filings

Form 4 filings as a paginated list, newest filed first — filter by ticker, cik, or a filed-date window. Use this to page through filings; `get_recent_filings` is the unfiltered head of the same feed
