IB shortable shares - list in a text file?

A

Arbitrageur

Is the IB list of shortable shares available anywhere as a text file? I see it on their site as a HTML list, but couldnt find anything of the same in plain text

I know TS publish their list daily on the website in a .txt file, do IB do anything similar?

I need to be able to view all the available equities and paste the list into my scanner.

any pointers would be greatly appreciated
 
HTML is plain text.

Is ** trivial ** to write a simple web spider that will read that page every X minutes or seconds...
And dump a time-stamped file in any format you like.
I used to do this... but the list is now so good... that I don't run my spider anymore.

Try Rent-a-coder...
I'll bet someone will do this within one week for $100.
