TRUE consolidated short interest by symbol from FINRA's latest bi-monthly settlement — 22,509 securities. Shares sold short and not yet covered, prior-settlement comparison + change %, average daily volume, and DAYS-TO-COVER (short shares ÷ avg daily volume — the classic short-squeeze indicator). Unlike short VOLUME (daily marked-short share, which includes market-maker hedging), this is the real metric investors and squeeze-watchers want. Highest days-to-cover liquid names + largest absolute short positions surfaced (NVDA, PLUG top the absolute shorts). symbol joins finra_short_volume + sec_fails_to_deliver for the full short toolkit. Powers /short-interest/{symbol} canonical pages + /api/v1/finra/short-interest/{search,symbol}. Key-free from the FINRA Query API; bi-monthly refresh.
