This endpoint returns a paginated list of NGX-listed companies whose ex-dividend date fell within the last 60 days, ordered chronologically. Use it to see which dividends have recently gone ex, when payments are expected, and to track dividend activity across the market. Use page and limit for pagination (up to 100 records per page). For example, to fetch the first page of recent ex-dividend activity:

curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/dividends/recent?limit=20&page=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"

The window is fixed at 60 days before today. If no dividends went ex in that period, dividends will be an empty array and total will be 0. This endpoint requires a Starter plan or higher.
