Question 1

What have this company's insiders been filing?

Accepted Answer

and how much of that feed is not insiders at all get the insider trading history for <company> with secform4 on monid. the field is named cik but it resolves a ticker and a plain company name too, so you do not need to look a CIK up first. split the transaction_date field, because it carries the transaction type inside the same string the field name lies in your favour: it is called cik, and a ticker, a CIK and a plain company name all work: on a second company the ticker returned byte-identical rows to the CIK, and the name returned the same again. An earlier version of this page told readers a ticker 422s, which sent them to buy a lookup they never needed what arrives: each row carries the date, the type, the role, the share count, the average price and a link to the filing itself; the window and the row count vary by company, 22 filings over nine months on one and 12 over three months on another the ratio, where there is one: on the first company, $935,287,758 of disclosed sales against $373,570 of disclosed purchases. On a second, every row was a sale, so the ratio has no denominator: report the two sides rather than a multiple and what that is not: a signal. Most insider selling runs on scheduled plans and on tax and diversification needs, so the ratio is a description of the filings and not a view on the company who filed: directors, officers and a chief executive, though the role strings are not a controlled vocabulary: across 273 rows on a second company both Ofc and Officer appear, 1 against 56, so normalise the role before you group on it

Question 2

How do I monitor the news without paying for the same story twice?

Accepted Answer

one wire story, billed once instead of forty times search news for <company> in the last 30 days with context.dev on monid, give me ten articles with the date, source and url, and keep the story_id on each one the set: ten real articles across CNBC, Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, the Economic Times, a Japanese wire and an Argentine daily the key: every row carries a story_id, so the syndicated copies of one story can be grouped before you read them the spread: the same ten articles cost $0.0009 here and $0.0600 on the most expensive endpoint in the aisle two schema traps: the price list calls the field headline and the wire sends title; and the rival's schema says a bare company name is not accepted, which is false, it returns the same ten as the uuid
