SEC Form 4 Insider Transaction Monitor with Make + Apify (NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A Make workflow that uses Apify. NexGenData has no official Make app β€” you run a public-data Apify actor inside Make through Make’s official Apify integration, on a schedule, with your own Apify token. This page covers public SEC filing data only and is not investment advice.

The problem: insider filings are public but scattered and constant

SEC Form 4 filings disclose insider purchases and sales as they happen, but they arrive all day across many companies. Researchers and analysts who track specific tickers need a clean, deduped digest β€” not a manual EDGAR crawl. A scheduled Make scenario pulls new Form 4 filings for your watchlist and routes a digest into Sheets, email, or Slack.

Who this is for

Analysts, researchers, data teams, and newsletter operators who monitor public insider-transaction filings for companies on a watchlist.

The Make workflow

  1. Schedule trigger β€” run a few times a day or daily after market close.
  2. Run an Actor β€” Apify “Run an Actor” β†’ SEC Form 4 Insider Trading Tracker, with your tickers/CIKs in the Input JSON.
  3. Get Dataset Items β€” pull issuer, reporting person, role, transaction code, shares, price.
  4. Filter / dedupe β€” e.g. purchases only; drop filings already seen (dedupe by accession number).
  5. Send to destination β€” email/Slack digest or a Google Sheets log.

Pair with the SEC Form NT late-filing tracker and 13F holdings tracker for a fuller filings watch.

Illustrative sample. Public SEC filing data, presented as information only.

Run it on a schedule

Scheduled runs turn EDGAR into a quiet feed: new insider filings for your watchlist arrive as a clean digest, deduped so you never see the same filing twice.
