Put a company's insider trades and the trades members of Congress disclosed in its stock on one timeline, with get_insider_trades and get_congress_trades.

**Tools:** [`get_insider_trades`](/developers/reference/get_insider_trades), [`get_congress_trades`](/developers/reference/get_congress_trades) · **Calls:** 2

## Ask an assistant

> Using Fundalyze, show NVIDIA's insider trades and any trades in NVIDIA stock disclosed by members of Congress, on one timeline, newest first. Separate open-market buys and sales from grants, option exercises and tax withholding, and give the filing link for each.

## Or in code

```python title="activity.py"
import os

import requests

BASE = "https://api.fundalyze.ai/api/public/v1"
session = requests.Session()
session.headers["Authorization"] = f"Bearer {os.environ['FUNDALYZE_API_KEY']}"


def call(tool, **params):
    response = session.get(f"{BASE}/{tool}", params=params, timeout=60)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()["data"]


ticker = "NVDA"
insiders = call("get_insider_trades", ticker=ticker, limit=50)["trades"]
congress = call("get_congress_trades", ticker=ticker, limit=50)["trades"]

timeline = [
    (t["transaction_date"] or t["filed_date"], "insider", t["owner"], t["code"], t["value_usd"], t["source_url"])
    for t in insiders
    if t["code"] in ("P", "S")  # open-market buys and sales only
] + [
    (t["transaction_date"] or t["filing_date"], "congress", t["member"], t["type"],
     f'{t["amount_low_usd"]}-{t["amount_high_usd"] or "+"}', t["source_url"])
    for t in congress
]

for date, who, name, kind, value, url in sorted(timeline, key=lambda row: row[0] or "", reverse=True):
    print(date, who.ljust(8), (name or "").ljust(28), str(kind).ljust(9), value, url)
```

## Read it carefully

- **Insider transaction codes** tell routine from deliberate: `P` is an open-market purchase and `S` a sale; `A` (grant), `M` (option exercise), `F` (shares withheld for tax) and `G` (gift) are mostly mechanical. Rows without a code are holdings reports, not trades.
- **Congressional amounts are ranges** as disclosed (for example $1,001 to $15,000), not exact values. `owner` says whose account it was: blank for the member, `SP` spouse, `JT` joint, `DC` dependent child.
- **Disclosure lags differ.** Insiders file a Form 4 within two business days; members of Congress have up to 45 days to report a trade. Sort by the trade date, as above, not the filing date.
- For short-selling interest in the same stock, add [`get_short_interest`](/developers/reference/get_short_interest), and keep FINRA's attribution line with its figures.
