Major shareholder ownership events

GET/api/v2/events-ownershipUS only
Coverage
US (classification enums unified across markets)
Billing
20 cr / thousand calls

One row = one filing that discloses a major shareholder's ownership status (event_class = ownership), with the shareholder as the subject and the company as the object: crossing the reporting threshold (stake_change), a share pledge / freeze (share_pledge), a lock-up expiry (lock_up_expiry). Only stake_change, from 13D/G filings, currently has data; the share_pledge / lock_up_expiry enums are reserved and carry data only once the corresponding markets are connected; filtering on these two types returns an empty array today. Day-to-day insider trades are not covered here; /insider-trades.

  • The ownership percentage is a response field only; there is no range filter on it.
  • The endpoint does not offer cross-company queries by shareholder name (there is no holder= parameter), preventing cross-company shareholder profiling.
  • direction / intent / action / share_source are flattened out of the envelope axis, and each carries a value only on its own type.
Shared events conventions

Ad hoc corporate disclosure events: financings, deals and agreements, executive changes, corporate actions, changes in major shareholder holdings, and more. Classification is not broken out by each market's regulatory forms; it is defined by "what about the company changed": the source category code is preserved as-is in source_category, and the public contract uses one canonical set of event_class / event_type (9 classes / 42 types; see OpenAPI for the full enums and each type's fields). Onboarding a new market only adds mappings; the endpoints are unchanged.

The data covers only US-listed companies: a non-US ticker returns 404; when ticker is omitted, the endpoint scans all companies on record. The six endpoints share one parameter set and one set of common envelope fields. /events is the unified timeline that carries only the common envelope; each of the five typed endpoints serves one group of event types (the last column of the table) and adds that group's own fields on top of the envelope.

Query parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
tickerstringoptionalUp to 10 values, comma-separated; when omitted, the endpoint scans across companies (for example "all CFO departures in the last 90 days"); combine with from / to. The market is carried by the canonical ticker itself, so there is no market parameter. Default Entire market.
event_typestringoptionalstake_change | share_pledge | lock_up_expiry; multiple values allowed, comma-separated. Default All.
fromdateoptionalStart of the event date (event_date) range, inclusive; for a single day, set from = to.
todateoptionalEnd of the event date range, inclusive.
limitintoptionalMaximum 500. Default 50.
pageintoptionalStarts at 1. Default 1.

Sorted event_date desc, accession_number desc, then row order within one filing. Paged with limit and page (pages start at 1); fewer rows than limit means the last page.

Response fields

FieldTypeDescription
event_idstringId of a single event; the same value on the typed endpoints and on the timeline
tickerstringcanonical ticker
marketstringCanonical market code
event_classstringCanonical enum from the table above (9 classes)
event_typestringCanonical enum from the table above (42 types)
axisobjectKey-value object holding the secondary axis of that type (for example a profit warning, {"direction":"down"}, or a revolving credit facility, {"instrument":"revolver","action":"new"}); for a type with no axis, the value is {}. See OpenAPI for the full set of keys and value domains. Typed endpoints flatten the common axes into top-level fields (instrument / action / subtype…), with the same values as axis; on the timeline, classification detail such as the direction of a profit warning or a trading halt and resumption action is only in this field
source_categorystringThe market's native category code, preserved as-is: for US, the 8-K item (8-K:2.03; when several items are triggered, they are joined with commas) or the 13D/G form name (SC 13D / SC 13G)
event_datedateEvent date (signing / resolution / closing); the only date axis in this group
titlestringOne-sentence title
stagestringLifecycle stage: announced approved amended completed terminated; the multi-stage filings of every market (proposal → shareholder meeting → approval → completion, and so on) all map onto this set
event_group_idstringThe successive filings of the same deal / financing / executive change share one id
is_currentboolWhether the row is the latest version within the same event_group_id
accession_numberstringNative document number from the official source (US: SEC accession; JP: EDINET docID; CN: cninfo announcement id), or the equivalent filing number
form_typestringOne of the four provenance fields: the source filing type
filing_urlstringOne of the four provenance fields: deep link to the official document
filing_datedateOne of the four provenance fields: the filing date
holder_namestringShareholder name (as filed)
pct_beforenumberOwnership percentage before the change (%)
pct_afternumberOwnership percentage after the change (%)
threshold_pctnumberStatutory threshold that triggers the filing (US 5.0)
shares_afternumberShares held after the change
shares_changednumberShares changed in this event
directionstringstake_change secondary axis: increase | decrease
intentstringstake_change secondary axis: active (13D) | passive (13G)
actionstringshare_pledge secondary axis: pledge / release / supplement / freeze / unfreeze
share_sourcestringlock_up_expiry secondary axis: ipo / private_placement / equity_incentive

Authentication, conventions, rate limits and error shapes are the same for every endpoint — they live on REST API.
