Stock Market API - Top Gainers/Losers [closed]

Tags:

I'm looking for a free API which I can use to retrieve the stock market's top gainers and top losers for the current day. I've checked out Google and Yahoo's API's and they don't seem to do this. I can get price quotes on specific stocks, but nothing about top gainers or losers. Does anyone know of an API that does this?

How do I know if I have top gainers and losers?

Top gainers are arranged in descending order from top gainer to least gainer. Top losers are arranged in ascending order from top loser to least loser. In this context, top gainers resemble the rise in price for stocks.

What is Polygon API?

The Polygon.io Stocks API provides REST endpoints that let you query the latest market data from all US stock exchanges. You can also find data on company financials, stock market holidays, corporate actions, and more.

Use Google's Finance API. This URL gets the stock information for the end day results of a market between two given dates. Check every market and compare the data appropriately.
