Free Float

API QuantAPI Developer

Shares outstanding and free float for a group of stocks on a single date.

This API returns data for multiple stocks — every constituent of a market index, or of one of your own universes — for the specified date.

One row is returned per stock, carrying its identifiers alongside the share counts in force on the requested date (today's when date is omitted). Counts are restated into today's capital structure, as on the short-interest bulk endpoints.

Available Data Points:

  • Date: The specific date for which the data is retrieved (YYYY-MM-DD format).
  • Exchange Symbol: Symbol of the exchange where the security trades.
  • Ticker: The ticker symbol associated with the security.
  • Company Name: The name of the company issuing the security.
  • Ortex Company ID: Unique id for a company.
  • Ortex Security ID: Unique id for a security issued by a company.
  • Ortex Tradable Item ID: Unique id for a listing of a security.
  • Shares Outstanding: The total number of shares the company has issued.
  • Free Float Shares: The number of shares available for public trading, excluding closely held and otherwise restricted holdings.
  • Free Float Pct: Free float shares as a percentage of shares outstanding.

Try it out! You can test the API with the trial key TEST. Simply include it in your request headers; either here, or add the header "Ortex-Api-Key": "TEST" to your http request.

Trial key restrictions: Trial keys may be limited to a specific date range and set of regions. Requests outside the allowed regions or entirely outside the allowed date range are rejected; a date window that partially overlaps the allowed range is trimmed to it, reported in meta.restriction.

Query Params
string

The ORTEX index identifier used by this endpoint. Return one row per constituent of this market index, as of the requested date. Pick one from the examples, or type another ORTEX index identifier — the list covers the identifiers published today and is not exhaustive. Matching ignores case, so us500 and US500 are the same index. Supply exactly one of 'index' or 'universe' — sending both, or neither, returns 400 invalidSelection. An unrecognized index identifier returns 404 indexNotFound.

string

Return one row per constituent of one of your own universes, matched case-insensitively by name. Supply exactly one of 'index' or 'universe' — sending both, or neither, returns 400 invalidSelection. A name you do not own, or that does not exist, returns 404 universeNotFound. On a Quant key, a universe holding more than 250 constituents returns 409 universeSizeExceeded; nothing in it is changed. Manage your universes at /api/v11/universes/.

date

The single date to return data for (defaults to the latest available). Format: YYYY-MM-DD.

integer

Page number within the paginated result set. Must be >= 1. Defaults to 1.

Number of rows per page. The default and the maximum allowed depend on the API tier; a value above the tier maximum is rejected with 400 invalidPageSize.
