# GET /v2/events?kind=split

**Splits**

Stock splits and reverse splits, timestamped at the execution date.

## Query / path parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|------|----|----|----------|-------------|
| `kind` | query | string | yes | Fix to `split` for this view (comma-combine kinds to merge timelines). Example: `split`. |
| `ticker` | query | string | no | Single symbol. Beats `tickers` when both are passed. Example: `NVDA`. |
| `tickers` | query | string[] | no | Comma-separated symbols, up to 50. Not combinable with `universe`; `ticker` wins when both are passed. Example: `AAPL,MSFT`. |
| `universe` | query | string | no | System or caller-owned universe slug. Example: `top_100`. |
| `from` | query | string | no | `YYYY-MM-DD` or ISO timestamp (inclusive). `since` is accepted as an alias. Example: `2026-09-14`. |
| `to` | query | string | no | `YYYY-MM-DD` or ISO timestamp — a bare `YYYY-MM-DD` means through the end of that day; timestamps are exclusive. `until` is accepted as an alias. Example: `2026-06-28`. |
| `q` | query | string | no | SQL filter. This kind's payload fields are first-class typed columns here: `ratio`, `split_from`, `split_to` (numeric) — e.g. `ratio < 1` for reverse splits. `payload->>'…'` works too. Base columns: `ticker`, `ts`, `kind`, `payload`. Example: `ratio < 1`. |
| `limit` | query | integer | no | Rows per page. Max 1000. Default: `50`. Example: `5`. |
| `cursor` | query | string | no | Opaque cursor from the previous response. |

## Returns

- `as_of` (string) — Server time this response was assembled (ISO 8601).
- `query` (object) — Your filters, echoed.
- `count` (number) — Rows in this page.
- `next_cursor` (string) — Opaque token for the next page; `null` on the last page. Pass it back as `cursor`.
- `results` (array) — One row per event, newest first.
  - `ticker` (string) — Symbol that split.
  - `ts` (string) — Execution date as an ISO timestamp.
  - `kind` (string) — Always `split` on this view.
  - `payload` (object) — The split terms.
    - `split_from` (number) — Shares before (the 1 in a 10-for-1).
    - `split_to` (number) — Shares after (the 10 in a 10-for-1).
    - `ratio` (number) — `split_to / split_from` — forward splits > 1, reverse splits < 1.

## Sample response

```json
{
  "as_of": "2026-07-30T18:20:11.000Z",
  "query": { "kind": "split", "since": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "q": "(payload->>'ratio')::numeric < 1", "limit": 50 },
  "count": 1,
  "next_cursor": null,
  "results": [
    { "ticker": "XYZQ", "ts": "2026-06-12T00:00:00.000Z", "kind": "split",
      "payload": { "split_from": 10, "split_to": 1, "ratio": 0.1 } }
  ]
}
```

## Notes

- This is [`GET /v2/events`](/docs/endpoints/events/query) with `kind=split`; it has its own page because the payload is its own contract. The full query grammar lives there and applies here unchanged.
- The `ratio` field makes direction a one-liner: `ratio > 1` is a forward split, `ratio < 1` a reverse. Latency: daily, via the evening ET ingestion pipeline.
- To be pushed instead of polling, create an event-trigger webhook: [`POST /v2/webhooks`](/docs/endpoints/webhooks/create) with `trigger.kinds=split`.
