API QuantAPI Developer

API to retrieve short interest 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 short-interest measures — the raw number of shares estimated to be shorted, the short-interest percentage of free float, and the USD value of the estimated short position. The ORTEX Short Score has its own bulk endpoint.

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.
• Short Interest Shares: A precise estimation of shares currently shorted.
• Short Interest Percentage of Free Float: The estimated percentage of short interest relative to the security's free float.
• Short Interest Value in USD: Calculated as (siShares * closing price in USD).

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.
