hi everyone,
Im looking for a way to get the short interest on specific stocks or on a universe of stocks. The data would likely come from this here:
https://www.quandl.com/data/FINRA-Financial-Industry-Regulatory-Authority
The this is, I couldnt find any example on QC's website on how to pull that kind of data.
An example would be greatly appreciated.
thanks !

Hi Stephane,
This is definitely an interesting data set! You can find a few demonstration algorithms for using Quandl data in GitHub, but I've attached a backtest below demonstrating how to import the FINRA/NASDAQ TRF Short Interest: JUST dataset from the Quandl link.

Hi Jack,
I just wanted to thank you for your very appreciated contribution.
I will definitly have a look at it shortly and might post my findings here (if they are worth mentioning) to help other people as well.
Thanks again!

Hi Sudheer Kumar
On Dec. 4th, 2018, Nasdaq announced it had acquired Quandl, Inc. In 2021, Quandl was replaced by Nasdaq Data Link.
QuantConnect has decided to remove Quandl from Lean, and create an independent repository to NasdaqDataLink.
You can refer to the dataset document for implementation using the Nasdaq Data Link with examples.
