List of shortable stocks

how can I get the list of shortable stocks?
(I have no API, or coding experience, knowledge.)

does it change daily? or how often?

thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

you could use the python sdk: https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api-python

and use this code:

import alpaca_trade_api as tradeapi
api = tradeapi.REST(key_id=YOUR_API_KEY,
                    secret_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY)
shortable_list = [l for l in api.list_assets() if l.shortable]
