API TraderAPI QuantAPI Developer

API to retrieve dividend events for a given ticker on a given exchange.

This API returns the full dividend history for the instrument — ex-date, pay date, record date, announcement date, the dividend amount (with net and gross amounts where reported), the payment currency, the payment frequency, and the dividend type. Announced future dividends are included, so upcoming ex-dates and pay dates appear alongside the historical record.

Available Data Points:

• Ex Date: The ex-dividend date — the first trading day the share trades without the dividend (YYYY-MM-DD format).
• Pay Date: The date the dividend is paid to shareholders.
• Record Date: The date on which a shareholder must be on the register to receive the dividend.
• Announced Date: The date the dividend was announced.
• Amount: The declared dividend amount per share, in the payment currency.
• Net Amount: The dividend amount per share net of withholding, where reported.
• Gross Amount: The gross dividend amount per share, where reported.
• Currency: The ISO code of the payment currency.
• Frequency: The payment frequency (e.g. quarterly, semi-annual, annual).
• Dividend Type: The type of the dividend event (e.g. regular cash, special cash).
• Is Special: Whether the dividend is a special (non-regular) distribution.

Filtering

Use from_date and to_date to bound the ex-date window. When no dates are supplied the full history is returned, including announced future dividends. Results are ordered by ex-date, most recent (or furthest upcoming) first.

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.
