Overview

This node interacts with the Finnhub.io API to retrieve insider transaction data for stocks. It is useful for users who want to monitor insider trading activities of a specific company by symbol, optionally filtered by date range. For example, investors or analysts can use this node to get the latest insider transactions for Apple (AAPL) or transactions within a specific date range to inform their investment decisions.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve the latest insider transactions for the stock symbol AAPL.
2. Get insider transactions for a stock symbol within a specified date range, e.g., from 2020-03-15 to 2020-03-16.

Properties

Output

JSON

• symbol - The stock symbol for which insider transactions were retrieved.
• transactions - List of insider transactions including details such as insider name, transaction date, transaction type, and number of shares.

Dependencies

• Finnhub.io API

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the API key credential for Finnhub.io is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions, especially for premium endpoints if 'Premium Access' is enabled.
• Verify that the stock symbol is valid and correctly formatted; an empty symbol fetches the latest transactions but may return large data sets.
• Check date formats for 'From' and 'To' fields; they should be in YYYY-MM-DD format to avoid request errors.
• If SSL issues occur, consider enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' but be aware of security risks.
• Proxy settings must be correctly formatted if used, including authentication details if required.
• Timeouts can occur if the server is slow or network issues exist; increase the timeout value if necessary.
