🔎 Nasdaq Short Interest History Scraper

🚀 Export nasdaq short interest history data in seconds. Clean, structured records ready for CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 8 fields per record · Public data · Production-grade

The Nasdaq Short Interest History Scraper pulls public data and normalizes it into a flat, analytics-ready dataset. No login, no fragile DOM parsing — just clean records pushed straight to an Apify dataset you can download or pipe to your stack.

Scrape semi-monthly short interest history from the public Nasdaq quote API including short interest shares, average daily volume, days to cover, and period-over-period change for any listed symbol.

📋 What the Nasdaq Short Interest History does

• Calls the public source endpoint with the parameters you supply.
• Parses the response and flattens each record into a single row.
• Casts numeric fields to numbers so they import cleanly into Excel and BI tools.
• Surfaces upstream errors and rate-limit notes as a single-row error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: the source response is normalized into clean snake_case fields. Drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet without manual cleanup.
