get_insider_leaderboard
Rank insiders by historical buy performance using hit rate or average return over a chosen horizon. Identify top-performing insiders based on scored open-market buys.
Instructions
Ranked leaderboard of insiders by buy track-record (Business plan+). Returns the top insiders ranked by historical buy performance — same scored-buy methodology as GET /v1/insiders/{cik}/scorecard, applied across the whole corpus rather than one insider. Use this to discover which insiders have the best track record; use the per-insider scorecard once you have a specific CIK. Scores use absolute return (NOT market-adjusted) — a hit is a scored buy with a positive 3m (or 6m) return anchored at the filing-date close. Only discretionary open-market buys (P-code, not 10b5-1, not derivative) with a matured return are counted. Insiders with fewer than min_trades (floor 5) scored buys are excluded. Requires Business plan or higher (402 PLAN_REQUIRED on Free/Starter/Pro). Results are cached for 1 hour per unique parameter combination.
