The movers endpoint returns the biggest movers on the NGX for a given trading session. This includes the top gainers sorted by percentage gain and the top losers sorted by percentage decline. Each entry includes the previous close, the day’s closing price, absolute and percentage change, and trading activity figures. You can request only gainers or only losers with the type filter, which is useful when you want to keep separate leaderboards in your UI. For example, to fetch the top 5 gainers for a specific session: 
curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/market/movers?type=gainers&limit=5&date=2026-04-17" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"
