An n8n workflow that uses the verified Apify node. NexGenData has no verified n8n node — you run a public-data Apify actor inside n8n through Apify’s verified node, 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, across many companies all day. Researchers tracking specific tickers need a clean, deduped digest — not a manual EDGAR crawl. A scheduled n8n workflow pulls new Form 4 filings for your watchlist and routes a digest into Sheets, Gmail, or Slack.
Who this is for
Analysts, researchers, data teams, and newsletter operators who monitor public insider-transaction filings for a watchlist.
The n8n workflow
- Schedule Trigger — a few times a day or after close.
- Apify node → Run Actor — SEC Form 4 Insider Trading Tracker, with your tickers/CIKs in the input.
- Get Dataset Items — issuer, reporting person, role, transaction code, shares, price.
- Filter / Remove Duplicates — e.g. purchases only; drop filings already seen (dedupe by accession number).
- Send to destination — Gmail/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.
Sample input (ticker watchlist)
| ticker | company |
|---|---|
| AAPL | Apple Inc |
| NVDA | NVIDIA Corp |
| TSLA | Tesla Inc |
Sample output (Form 4 alert digest)
| date | issuer | person | role | code | shares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-06 | Acme Corp | Jane Doe | Director | P (purchase) | 10,000 |
| 2026-06-05 | Initech | Sam Lin | 10%+ owner | S (sale) | 25,000 |

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.

FAQ
Is this investment advice? No. These are public SEC filings presented as information only; nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell.
How do I avoid duplicate filings? Use the Remove Duplicates node keyed on the accession number.
Is this a verified NexGenData n8n node? No — it’s an n8n workflow using Apify’s verified n8n node with your own Apify token.
