How this service works
Settlement fails-to-deliver for a US-listed stock from the SEC's semi-monthly data: the aggregate shares that failed to deliver on each settlement date, with the reference price, most recent first. A niche short-pressure and squeeze signal. ?limit= records (default 30). Sourced from SEC EDGAR. From x402stock, a pay-per-call market & economic data API. Pay per request in USDC via x402, no API key.
Output
A JSON object containing the source (sec_edgar), the as-of date, the ticker symbol, number of SEC reporting periods read, total record count, a note, and an array of fail records each with settlement_date, CUSIP, symbol, description, aggregate fails (shares), and reference price — sorted most recent first.
Example use cases
Meme stock squeeze signal monitoring
“Show me the fails-to-deliver data from the SEC for AMC over the last 4 reporting periods — I want to see if FTDs have been spiking recently as a potential squeeze signal.”
Short pressure research for a thesis
“I'm building a short-squeeze watchlist — can you fetch the SEC EDGAR fails-to-deliver records for BBBY with up to 90 entries so I can see the trend in settlement failures?”
Due diligence on heavily shorted stock
“Before I take a position in KOSS, pull the most recent SEC fails-to-deliver data for it — I want to see the aggregate shares and reference prices from the last couple of reporting periods.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.x402stock.xyz/api/v1/fails-to-deliver/{ticker}When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need official SEC-sourced fails-to-deliver data for a specific US-listed stock to assess short-pressure, squeeze risk, or settlement anomalies. Prefer it over broker-reported short interest data when you want regulatory-grade settlement failure counts from EDGAR's semi-monthly releases. Best suited for analyzing individual tickers rather than broad market scans.

- SEC EDGAR data may lag by several weeks from actual settlement dates
