Most Active
Returns the most active stocks for the day. This includes the symbol, the name, the price, the change and the change percentage. The change percentage (“Change %”) is a decimal (0.0125 is +1.25%).
Most Active in Python or via the MCP
Install the Finance Toolkit with:
pip install financetoolkit -U
Then call get_most_active_stocks as shown below.
from financetoolkit import Discovery
discovery = Discovery(api_key="FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_KEY")
most_active_stocks = discovery.get_most_active_stocks()
most_active_stocks.head(10)
Or, after setting up the Finance Toolkit MCP, ask:
Which ten stocks are the most actively traded today, and how far have their prices moved?
