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.
