Here is another US fundamental data downloader that gets Ownership related numbers. The database which will contain the data is called "us_ownership" and here are the different items you can get:

Percent held by Insiders: The percentage of shares outstanding held by insiders. An insider is a person who has potential access to non-public information about the company.

Change in insider holdings: The percentage change of insider holdings over the past 12 weeks. A positive value indicates that insider holdings increased, while a negative value indicates that insider holdings decreased.

Number of insider buyers: The number of transactions that are initiated by insiders to buy shares of the company's stock.

Number of insider sellers: The number of transactions that are initiated by insiders to sell shares of the company's stock.

Percent held by Institutions: The percentage of shares outstanding held by institutional investors. Institutional investors are organizations that trade securities with large amounts of money; this includes pension funds, mutual funds, banks, brokerage firms and charitable trusts. Stocks with a large proportion of their shares held by institutional investors have generally a higher beta value and are more volatile that stocks with less institutional ownership proportion.
