TSX Insider API Documentation

Quick start

1. Have an active API plan on your account.
2. Open My Account › API Key and click Generate API key. Copy it right away: it is shown once.
3. Call the feed with your key in the X-API-Key header:

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -A "MyApp/1.0" \
  "https://tsxinsider.com/wp-json/tsxi/v1/feed?tickers=ABC,XYZ&since=2026-10-01"

import requests

KEY = "YOUR_KEY"          # from the API Key tab
r = requests.get(
    "https://tsxinsider.com/wp-json/tsxi/v1/feed",
    params={"tickers": "ABC,XYZ", "since": "2026-10-01"},
    headers={"X-API-Key": KEY, "User-Agent": "MyApp/1.0"},   # set your own User-Agent
    timeout=60,
)
r.raise_for_status()
for t in r.json()["records"]:
    print(t["filing_date"], t["ticker"], t["side"], t["insider"], t["title"], t["shares"], t["price"])

Authentication

Base URL: https://tsxinsider.com/wp-json/tsxi/v1. HTTPS only.

Send your key in a header named X-API-Key. Every request needs it. Your key belongs to your account and is for your own use only. If it leaks, generate a new one on the API Key tab: the old one stops working right away, and your monthly tickers and daily requests do not reset.

GET /feed

The response also includes usage (tickers used this month, your limit and the reset date) and tickers_not_found (any tickers we did not recognize).

GET /search

Find a company by name, including companies that no longer trade, were renamed or have no current ticker. Use q with at least 3 letters. Each match shows its ticker or its company_id. A search counts as one request and uses no ticker slot.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -A "MyApp/1.0" "https://tsxinsider.com/wp-json/tsxi/v1/search?q=peyto"

GET /usage

Shows the tickers you have used this month, how many slots are left, when the count resets, and today’s request count. Free: it does not count toward your limits. For convenience, your usage is also shown on the API Key tab of My Account.

curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -A "MyApp/1.0" "https://tsxinsider.com/wp-json/tsxi/v1/usage"

Response

Each record is one insider’s trades in one account, on one side, on one day. shares is the day’s total and price is the volume-weighted average price for that day (total value divided by total shares). The data covers open-market insider buys and sells in common shares. Sales of shares acquired through an exercise or conversion shortly before are included and marked with exercise_and_sell. An abbreviated example (placeholder values, not real data):

{
  "feed_version": 2,
  "generated": "2026-11-08",
  "from": "2025-11-08",
  "tickers_not_found": [],
  "usage": { "month": "2026-11", "tickers_used": 1, "limit": 25, "resets": "2026-12-01" },
  "corporate_actions": {
    "ABC": {
      "actions": [
        { "date": "2026-03-02", "type": "consolidation", "ratio": "10-for-1",
          "factor": 10.0, "security": "Common Shares" }
      ],
      "listings": []
    }
  },
  "records": [
    {
      "ticker": "ABC", "exchange": "TSXV", "company": "Example Corp",
      "side": "buy", "insider": "Smith, Jane", "title": "CEO",
      "relationship": "Director, Senior Officer", "ownership": "Direct",
      "transaction_date": "2026-11-05", "filing_date": "2026-11-06",
      "shares": 50000, "price": 0.42, "currency": "CAD", "value": 21000.0,
      "balance_before": 1200000, "balance_after": 1250000, "pct_change": "+4.2%",
      "exercise_and_sell": false, "share_basis": "current", "fills": 1,
      "sedi_txn_ids": ["1000001"], "price_flagged": false
    }
  ]
}

factor in corporate_actions is old shares per new share: 10 = a 10-for-1 consolidation, 0.5 = a 2-for-1 split. Unadjusted fields are always as filed; the adjusted_* fields use today’s share basis. An amended filing replaces the original. New fields may be added over time, so ignore any you do not use.

Field guide

Plans & limits

• Tickers are counted per calendar month, Eastern Time. Re-requesting a ticker you have already used that month is always free. Unknown tickers do not use a slot.
• A request that would take you over your monthly limit is refused as a whole and uses no slots.
• Your limits come from your active plan. If the plan lapses, the key stops working until you renew.

Updates

The data is refreshed several times throughout the day. One final sync after 23:59 ET picks up everything filed that day. Filings are sometimes amended later, so setting since a few days back on each sync picks up any changes.

Errors

Errors come back as JSON with an error code and a message.
