New: Korea KRX Short Selling Balances — KOSPI & KOSDAQ net short positions as Apify rows

What it does

This actor streams net short selling balances for every stock on KOSPI and KOSDAQ straight from the Korea Exchange (KRX) Data Marketplace — the official conduit for FSCMA Article 180-2 short-position disclosure (개별종목 공매도 순보유잔고). Since KRX lifted its eight-month short-selling ban on 31 March 2025, balance disclosure has resumed, and this actor surfaces the same end-of-day report institutional desks pay for through Bloomberg, KIS Pricing, and CHECK — as clean Apify dataset rows.

Who it's for

Quant and fundamental desks tracking Korean equities: anyone building a short-interest reversal factor, watching which KOSPI 200 names are getting shorted into earnings, or flagging 0.5%+ short-balance accumulations on KOSDAQ small-caps.

Sample fields / output

  • market — KOSPI or KOSDAQ
  • ticker — 6-digit Korean stock code
  • short_balance_pct_of_outstanding — net short % of shares out
  • short-position share count and KRW value
  • trading date for daily time-series (일자별 잔고)

Example use cases

  • Track which KOSPI 200 names are getting shorted before earnings, day by day.
  • Build a short-interest reversal factor from a stable market-wide daily time-series.
  • Spot 0.5%+ short-balance accumulations on KOSDAQ small-caps with a threshold filter.
