It is called the Fails To Deliver report and that is provided by the SEC.

Do you understand the difference between a marked short sale and short interest?

If not, then I would suggest you start on that first...because if you don't know the difference what I am about to tell you will not make a lot of sense.

Most sales marked short that show up within the daily FINRA short volume report get covered within seconds or minutes. MM have up to T+3 to do so...but a majority are the same day if not seconds. None of that short volume creates ANY short interest....except....for those short sales that take an open short position. Those numbers get reported on the biweekly FINRA short INTEREST report found here.

Also remember, that the short interest positions are a snapshot in time. Like a checking account balance. You never add them up. They just show the short interest at that point in time.

I guess one could sit there and add up the short volume day by day and then see what the change is in the short interest position for that time period and back calculate how much of the "short volume" ended up as new short interest....but there is absolutely no way to determine the change in short interest in a stock based on daily short volume. NONE.

That website you link to as well as the well know OTCShortReport website are just playing on investors ignorance on this issue to make them believe that something is happening that is in fact...not.
