Ticker Symbols identifies what a ticker symbol is and where it trades. Look up a symbol to get every listing that carries it across the US and 18 international stock markets, cryptocurrencies, futures and currency pairs, or find a stock symbol by company name. Every result carries its name, market, exchange, security type and asset class; paid plans add FIGI identifiers, SEC CIK numbers and fuller search results.
The Ticker Symbols API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate ticker symbols functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready ticker symbols capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callTickerSymbolsAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
symbol: 'SHEL',
market: 'GB',
assetClass: 'equity'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/tickersymbols?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callTickerSymbolsAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/tickersymbols?symbol=SHEL&market=GB&assetClass=equity" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
