Form 4 records ownership changes
Form 4 is part of the SEC Section 16 ownership filing family. It can contain purchases, sales, grants, exercises, and other ownership changes. The filing itself is not proof of illegal insider trading.
Form 4/A is an amendment
Narwhal keeps 4 and 4/A as exact form tokens. Callers can include amendments with the base form or request 4/A explicitly.
What the filing result contains
The filing result contains accession number, form, filing date, SEC acceptance time, report period, amendment state, and canonical SEC links.

--header "Authorization: Bearer $NARWHAL_API_KEY"This is not yet an insider transactions API
The current contract does not return insider identity, transaction code, buy or sell classification, price, shares, 10b5-1 context, or ownership before and after. Those fields require a separate normalized Insider Transactions Interface.
