Best Free Source For Unusual Whales–style Data? (options Flow, Insiders, Hedge Funds, Politicians, Near Real-time)

I’m trying to build my own research / signal pipeline and I’m looking for something closer to Unusual Whales but without paying for a full subscription.

What I want is less dashboards and more raw data access.

Ideally:

Options / unusual flow / F&O activity

Insider trades

Politician disclosures

Hedge fund / 13F data

Dark pool / institutional signals

Near real-time or at least updated frequently

API / CSV / exportable data

Free or generous free tier

Right now I’m testing Finnhub and Tastytrade API but they don’t feel complete enough for this use case.Q

My goal is basically:

Raw data → Claude / custom filtering → synthesis → useful signals

Curious what people here actually use to assemble this stack. Open datasets, APIs, GitHub repos, hidden gems, anything.
