# Yahoo Finance Insiders API

Insider positions, transactions and net share purchase activity.

`GET /v1/yahoo-finance/instruments/{symbol}/insiders` returns `data.insiderHolders`, `data.insiderTransactions` and `data.netSharePurchaseActivity`. Holder rows carry `name`, `relation`, `transactionDescription`, `latestTransDate` and direct position fields. Transaction rows carry `filerName`, `transactionText`, `moneyText`, `startDate`, `ownership`, `value` and `shares`. Net activity carries `period`, `buyInfoCount`, `buyInfoShares`, `sellInfoCount`, `sellInfoShares`, `netInfoCount`, `netInfoShares`, `totalInsiderShares` and `netPercentInsiderShares`.

Names and roles are from public filings. A symbol that exists but has no insider sections stays `lookupStatus: found` with null sections and `data.sources.insiders: empty`. Use the holders route for institutions and funds rather than insider positions.

## FAQ

### What is the difference between insider holders and insider transactions?

insiderHolders is the current list of insiders and their positions. insiderTransactions is the transaction history, with the filer, text, date, shares and value.

### What does netSharePurchaseActivity measure?

It summarises insider buying and selling in the period, with buy and sell counts and shares, the net count and shares, total insider shares and the net percentage of insider shares.

### Why are some sections null?

The instrument kind does not report that section. The rest of the response is still complete.

### How many credits does this route cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
