Introduction

Stocksymbol connects to the StockSymbol API that I created to provide a list of stock symbols from all major stock exchanges across various regions and markets.

Quick Start

Install package

pip install stocksymbol

Get an API key

You can register for a free API key here.

Symbol list

from stocksymbol import StockSymbol

api_key = '<your API key here>'
ss = StockSymbol(api_key)

# get symbol list based on market
symbol_list_us = ss.get_symbol_list(market="US") # "us" or "america" will also work

# get symbol list based on index
symbol_list_spx = ss.get_symbol_list(index="SPX")

# show a list of available market
market_list = ss.market_list

# show a list of available index
index_list = ss.index_list
