What it returns

Officers, directors and other affiliates of a US-listed company must file Form 144 with the SEC before selling restricted or control shares above a small threshold, usually on the day the sale is placed. This API reads those notices from EDGAR (structured XML since 2023) and returns one row per notice. - **By company**: tickers or CIKs; every Form 144 about them in the date range - **Market-wide**: leave companies empty for the latest notices across EDGAR (default: last 3 days)
