Stock Short Interest API
Live short-interest data for US stocks from Nasdaq — no key, nothing stored. The "how heavily is it shorted, and is a squeeze building" view of a stock: the number of shares sold short, the average daily volume and the resulting days-to-cover, reported each settlement period, distinct from the quote, movers, insider and analyst APIs in the catalogue. The current endpoint returns the latest short-interest reading together with the change from the prior period — a rising or falling short position with the share delta and percent change. The history endpoint returns the full settlement-by-settlement timeline so you can see how the short position has trended over the year. Days-to-cover — short interest divided by average daily volume — is the headline squeeze metric: the higher it is, the longer shorts would need to buy back their position. Build short-squeeze scanners, bearish-positioning dashboards, risk overlays and contrarian-signal bots on top of real Nasdaq short-interest data. Look up any US stock by its ticker; share counts are returned as clean numbers. Note that short interest is reported about twice a month and a few non-Nasdaq listings may not be covered.
