List initial holdings (Form 3) for a company or insider
list_initial_holdingsInitial beneficial-ownership statements (SEC Form 3) and the holdings they report, nested filing -> holdings. A Form 3 is what an insider files on becoming an insider: positions, not trades — there is no transaction date, code, price or direction. Requires ticker and/or insider_cik; for unanchored screening use search_initial_holdings. Each filing carries no_securities_owned (true means the filer reported holding nothing and the holdings array is empty), issuer_cik, insiders, footnotes and source_url_prefix. Non-derivative rows carry shares_owned; derivative rows carry underlying_security_shares / underlying_security_value instead. A holding carries a split_adjusted block only when its filed amounts are not on the current per-share basis. data_quality_flags appears only on rows that fail a consistency check; such rows are withheld unless include_anomalies=true, and anomalies_excluded_on_page says how many this page withheld. Joint filings name several insiders and are reported in _warnings. Results are limited to your plan's history window, which _warnings reports. A ticker outside your plan's company coverage returns 403 PLAN_TIER_INSUFFICIENT_COVERAGE and is still charged. 30 credits per page. POST /api/v1/ownership/initial-holdings; FINANCIAL_API_DOCUMENTATION.md.
