For AI agents & developers

The initial HTML of this page carries its exact data as script#research-data (JSON): values, units, scope, preview limits and SEC sources. Read it directly, no script or API key needed; script#research-access says what needs an account. For the year shown, this page lists 11 of 11 purchase / sale groups and 30 of 37 other groups; the totals and the monthly series cover the whole window.

Without an account: the last 3 years, with the row caps stated on the page. A free account opens all history on file on these pages and the CSV of what a page shows. Rows beyond the caps and bulk retrieval go through the authenticated API / MCP / CLI.

Sources, coverage & how to read this data

Figures are as reported to the SEC and merged with later amendments where Akkru could match them. Preview limits apply to what is listed, not to the totals, which come from the complete reported data. Nothing is zero-filled: a missing quarter or month is shown as missing.

Non-cancelled, non-derivative purchase (P) and sale (S) rows dated inside the public window, as reported. Share totals are on today's split-adjusted basis. Includes open-market and private transactions. Data after the latest filing is not asserted complete and is not zero-filled. A grouped event shares filing, transaction date, security, code, direction, ownership bucket and source. Derivative groups also match underlying security, exercise price, exercise/expiration dates and footnote references. Reported rows are retained; P/S price lots can be grouped. Post-transaction balances are never summed.
