FMP's Stock Screener API now supports filtering by average trading volume. Released on August 28, 2026, the update adds two filtering parameters and an average-volume field to the results. Developers and analysts can use them to refine stock searches and see the average trading volume associated with each match.
New Filters and a Returned Average-Volume Field
The update introduces three additions:
|
Addition |
Purpose |
|
avgVolumeMoreThan |
Filters for stocks above a specified average trading volume threshold. |
|
avgVolumeLowerThan |
Filters for stocks below a specified average trading volume threshold. |
|
avgVolume |
Returns the average trading volume for each matched stock. |
The filtering parameters let users express average-volume criteria directly in a screener request. The returned field also makes that information available for display or further analysis after the screen runs.
More Control Over Trading-Activity Screens
Average trading volume can be useful when trading activity forms part of a research universe's selection criteria. An analyst may want to focus on stocks above a particular activity threshold, while a developer may want to expose an average-volume range in a screening interface. The new parameters support those choices within the existing screening workflow.
Returning avgVolume alongside each match also makes the results easier to inspect. A watchlist or screening table can display the value that helps explain a stock's inclusion, giving users more context for their next research step.
The August 28 Stock Screener release note records the new parameters and response field.
