Of course, one can get from Nasdaq.com itself.
Here is an example for AAPL.

But if you need to scrape, go slow... very slow. I got banned for >1 week.

Institutions holding shouldn't indicate whether it's restricted or not?


What is Floating Stock?
Floating stock is the number of shares available for trading of a particular stock. Floating stock is calculated by subtracting closely-held shares and restricted stock from a firm’s total outstanding shares. Closely-held shares are those owned by insiders, major shareholders, and employees. Restricted stock refers to insider shares that cannot be traded because of a temporary restriction such as the lock-up period after an initial public offering.

In that case, you may consider Edgar's 10K or 10Q report.
