How this service works
Fails to deliver and short squeeze candidates ($0.01): US securities with the largest fails-to-deliver by value on the latest settlement date in SEC data (NSCC CNS), with shares, price and value. Use to spot hard-to-borrow stocks.
Output
A ranked list of US securities with the highest fails-to-deliver by value on the most recent settlement date, including each stock's ticker symbol, number of shares failed to deliver, current price, and total FTD value in dollars, sourced from SEC NSCC CNS data.
Example use cases
Short squeeze candidate screening
“Which US stocks currently have the biggest fails-to-deliver by value according to the latest SEC settlement data? I want to find potential short squeeze setups.”
Hard-to-borrow stock identification
“I'm a trader looking for hard-to-borrow stocks — can you pull the latest SEC NSCC fails-to-deliver data and rank the top names by total FTD value?”
Pre-trade risk and settlement check
“Before I put on a short position, check the SEC fails-to-deliver data to see if the stock I'm looking at is showing up as a large FTD name by value in the latest settlement data.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.marketintelligenceapi.com/api/v1/sec/fails-to-deliver?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to screen for hard-to-borrow securities or short squeeze candidates using authoritative SEC NSCC CNS fails-to-deliver data ranked by dollar value. Prefer this over generic stock screeners when you specifically need settlement failure data as a signal, rather than short interest ratios or borrow rates from prime brokers.
Side effects
- SEC data not yet updated for the current settlement date — returns the most recent available data which may be lagged
- No FTD data available for a particular date (e.g. market holiday) — endpoint may return empty or prior date results
- Payment failure (x402 micropayment not processed) — request blocked
- Rate limiting or API downtime — HTTP 429 or 503 response
