# Exact stock and ETF listings with the largest daily short volume for a single trading day, sorted by short volume descending by default. Volumes cover FINRA-reported off-exchange facility trades only, so a 40-50% short percentage is the normal baseline. Pass sortBy=shortPercent with a minTotalVolume floor to rank by short intensity instead of raw size.

`GET /v1/short-volume/largest`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.equibles.com`
- URL: `https://api.equibles.com/v1/short-volume/largest`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/equibles/apis/equibles-api/docs/v1/short-volume/largest/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

## Query parameters

- `date` string, date
- `minShortVolume` integer
- `sortBy` string
- `minTotalVolume` integer
- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer

## Response `200`

OK

- LargestShortVolumeResponse
  - `date` string, date, nullable
  - `data` LargestShortVolumeDto[], nullable
    - `ticker` string, nullable
    - `name` string, nullable: Company name; null for ETF listings or when the security is not enriched yet.
    - `shortVolume` integer: Short volume rounded to the nearest whole share for the v1 integer contract.
    - `shortExemptVolume` integer: Short exempt volume rounded to the nearest whole share for the v1 integer contract.
    - `totalVolume` integer: Total FINRA-facility volume for the day, rounded to the nearest whole share for the v1 integer contract — off-exchange trades reported to FINRA facilities only, NOT the consolidated tape (typically ~40% of it).
    - `shortVolumePercent` number, double: Short volume as a percentage of FINRA-facility volume (0-100). Because the denominator is facility volume, 40-50% is the normal baseline — do not read it as a share of the stock's consolidated volume.
