Financial Data API

Get Stock Splits Calendar

Returns a cross-ticker feed of upcoming and historical forward and reverse stock splits across all tickers listed on NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, and major international exchanges. Each record includes the split date, structured split ratio, split factor, pre/post-split shares and prices, currency, and a flag indicating reverse splits. Results are sorted by split date in descending order by default.

Use the date_start and date_end parameters to focus on a specific window. Set order=ASC to walk the calendar chronologically, or raise the limit (up to 10,000) to pull large historical batches in a single request. Add format=excel for tab-separated values compatible with Google Sheets IMPORTDATA() and Excel.

Note: Future-dated splits are returned, but pre_split_shares, post_split_shares, pre_split_price, and post_split_price are null until the split takes effect. Only split_ratio and split_factor are populated ahead of the effective date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are future-dated splits included? Yes. Future splits are returned with split_ratio and split_factor populated, but pre_split_shares, post_split_shares, pre_split_price, and post_split_price are null until the split takes effect.

How do I filter to reverse stock splits only? The API returns all splits; filter client-side where is_reverse_split is true or split_factor is below 1. Server-side reverse-only filtering is on the roadmap.

Can I export the calendar to Google Sheets or Excel? Yes. Add format=excel to get tab-separated values that work with Google Sheets IMPORTDATA() and Excel's data import.

What is the maximum number of splits I can return per request? Up to 10,000 records via the limit parameter. Default is 100.
