API QuantAPI Developer
Track short interest as it moves through the session, not once a day. This endpoint returns ORTEX's intraday short-interest series for one instrument, so you can see positioning build and unwind in near real time instead of waiting for the next daily estimate.
The series is a run of half-open [startAt, endAt) intervals in UTC. Each interval carries the short interest in effect from its start until its end; endAt is null for the interval that is still open. The series resets to the daily short-interest estimate each morning and moves intraday as soon as market data indicates a change in short interest.
from_date and to_date select calendar days (UTC, inclusive). Every interval that overlaps the window is returned whole, so the first interval may start before from_date and the last may end after to_date.
Available Data Points:
- Start At: UTC timestamp at which the interval's short interest took effect.
- End At: UTC timestamp at which it was superseded, or null for the interval that is still open.
- SI Shares: Estimated number of shares sold short over the interval.
- SI Pct Free Float: Short interest as a percentage of the free float in effect on the interval's US trading date; null when no free float is available.
