`short_interest`

Pack: finra · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/short_interest for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

FINRA consolidated SHORT INTEREST for one symbol — the bi-monthly settlement-date data: total open short position, days-to-cover, average daily volume, and change vs the prior settlement. This is the ”% short / days-to-cover” metric investors cite — DISTINCT from short_volume_daily (daily short-sale VOLUME). Returns the latest settlement plus recent history, plus the FINRA attribution the data is licensed under. Zero-rated: FINRA’s terms forbid charging for it, so this call costs 0 credits.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`symbol`	string	yes	Ticker (case-insensitive), e.g. “TSLA”
`limit`	number	no	How many recent settlements to return (1–24, default 6)
