# Top gainers, losers and most active

`GET /v1/market/movers`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tapetide.com`
- URL: `https://api.tapetide.com/v1/market/movers`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Today's biggest movers within an index universe: a ranking of the index's constituents by price change or traded value, nothing more. `type=gainers` ranks by % change descending, `losers` ascending, `active` by traded value (volume x price) descending. Prices are live during the session; outside it, the last session's. Universe defaults to nifty-500. This is not a signal feed: it carries no pivot or short-term breakout labels. For end-of-day technical signals (52-week highs and lows, RSI, MACD, volume spikes, 200-day trend) use /v1/market/signals.

## Query parameters

- `type` 'gainers' | 'losers' | 'active'
