Use get_tool for get-short-interest-nasdaq (catalog ID f6be21ca-723a-4852-b299-d5b33d0026da), and check current availability, inputs, pricing and my authorized budget. Ask for a familiar company or ETF name if missing, not a code. Resolve it through Nasdaq's official Symbol Lookup; clarify if several listings match. If the user supplies a stock code directly, use it as given. Set queryParams.symbol internally. Select the stock or ETF category internally only when the listing makes it clear; do not ask the user to choose a technical category. Organize returned records by report date and preserve their values and labels. Explain that the records describe shares borrowed and sold by the stated date, not necessarily today's holdings. Do not call them all daily sales or use them to predict prices. Report the actual execution outcome and confirmed charge where relevant.

Nasdaq

Read stock short interest by settlement date

Enter a company or ETF name to request Nasdaq records for shares borrowed and sold. Your assistant finds the matching listing and organizes the reported dates and figures.

You receive

Available short-interest records for the requested symbol, with source settlement dates and any supplied short-interest counts, average daily share volume and days-to-cover figures. Your Agent can put the received records in date order and compare their displayed values.

Start with your task

Summarize Nasdaq records for shares of [Apple] that investors borrowed and sold. List the reporting dates and available figures.

What to know

These are dated reporting records, not live positions or daily short-sale transactions. Returned history does not establish complete coverage. The averaging period and days-to-cover calculation basis should not be assumed; the figures do not predict price direction or an actual covering deadline.

Inputs & outputs

Inspect the current inputs, availability, and maximum charge before starting.

Additional notes

Request short interest for one stock symbol. The optional asset_class string lets you specify the intended category, such as stocks or etf. There are no date-range, record-limit, pagination or multi-symbol inputs.

When records are returned, read each settlement date together with its short-interest count, average daily share volume and days-to-cover figure when supplied. Keep source labels, number formatting and precision so that a dated comparison remains traceable to the received records.

Short interest describes reported positions rather than the volume of short-sale transactions during a day. Average daily share volume is a separate measure; do not assume its averaging period or reinterpret the count as a percentage of float.

Days to cover is a source statistic, not a promised number of days in which positions will actually be closed. Retain the supplied decimal value and check its calculation context before recomputing or comparing it; do not impose a rounding rule from another display.

Settlement dates are source calendar dates, not request completion times or exact update instants. Your Agent can sort the delivered records and create a comparison note, but the list alone does not establish complete history, continuous updates or an automatic monitoring schedule.
