This item downloads historical insider data for US Stocks. The data goes back to January 2007 and it is updated monthly. It downloads all the transactions filled and reported to the SEC by insiders.
Individuals, such as officers, key employees, directors, and large shareholders, who may have access to non-public information about a company, should report their transactions to the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). These transactions are made public and are used by investors to make trading decisions. The buying and selling practice of these individuals is called Insider trading.
