Distribution changes for Short Interest as of Nov 6th
After significant customer feedback we decided to simplify the ftp directories for the Short Interest semi-monthly.
All files will now be written under the same root directory ftp.nysedata.com/shortint/
The file is posted in these directories every cycle, i.e. whether it is a mid or end-of-month release.
/shortint/shortint.ext (this is overwritten each time a file is posted so is always the most recent file)
/shortint/shortintYYYY/shortintYYYYMM/shortintYYYYMMDD.ext
where
.ext is the file extension, i.e. .txt for delimited text file, .xls for Excel and .xml for XML
YYYYMMDD is the year, month and *trade date* respectively, e.g. 20071106 is 2007, Nov 6th
The trade date is a date that varies each cycle and is set by FINRA and is visible on this page:
http://www.nysedata.com/nysedata/Default.aspx?TabId=197
Alternatively, the same files are written to indicate whether they are the mid or end of month files.
Mid-month files are posted here:
/shortint/shortintYYYY/shortintYYYYMM/shortintmidYYYYMMDD.ext
End-of-month files are posted here:
/shortint/shortintYYYY/shortintYYYYMM/shortintendYYYYMMDD.ext
For automated download of the most recent file we recommend downloading and processing
/shortint/shortint.ext as it will always be the most recent file.
Old directory scheme
For your reference this was the previous directory scheme and will not be in use as of Nov 6th, 2007
For the mid-month publishing cycle the path and filename will change to:
/shortintmid/shortintmidYYYY/shortintYYYYMM/shortintmidYYYYMM
For the end of the month publishing cycle, the path and file name will change to:
/shortintend/shortintendYYYY/shortintYYYYMM/shortintendYYYYMM |
