Institutional Investors Summary by Ticker
Returns data from the [holdings_ticker] table.
This table provides more than 12 years of insider holdings & transactions history for more than 15,000 issuers and 200,000 insiders summarized by ticker.
Covers all securities, including common shares, funds, calls, puts, warrants, preferred stock and debt.
Data is sourced from SEC form 13F filings, which requires that medium to large institutional investment managers report details of certain US security holdings. More information on SEC form 13F reporting can be found here.
For more information on the dataset and the available indicators, please review the holdings_ticker table on the Explorer page.
The table is queried via the following endpoint

A query parameter specifies a particular option or filter for the data to be returned. Examples of query parameter include the data format to be returned (format), the table columns to return (fields) or a filter to be applied (tablename). These are appended to the endpoint above, following a ?. The most important of these is your API key (api_key) which is used to authenticate you.
