# Form 4 / 4/A / 5 / 5/A insider transactions for one issuer CIK

`GET /api/v1/sec/edgar/insider/{cik}/transactions`

Insider transactions (purchases, sales, option exercises, awards) reported on Form 4 / 4/A plus Form 5 / 5/A annual statements for the given issuer CIK in the inclusive [from_date, to_date] window. One row per transaction (filings commonly contain multiple transactions on the same day). Form 5 transaction rows carry ``is_annual=True``; Form 4 rows omit the flag. Use ``filter_type`` to narrow to one transaction class. CIK accepted as 10-digit zero-padded or unpadded; canonicalised server-side. Retention 365 days; out-of-window from_date returns 422.
