Getting a list of all ticker symbols


 

开云体育

Using the api I would like to get a list of all USA stock ticker symbols. In TWS when you enter an ambiguous ticker it displays a dialog with close matches. I wonder if that mechanism is accessible via the api.

?

Ultimately what I am trying to do is determine when a NEW symbol is added. I have looked at the NYSE and NASDAQ websites to see if they have that information to scrape but didn’t find anything.

?

Ideas?


 

You can get the data directly from NASDAQ here
ftp://ftp.nasdaqtrader.com/
Under the SymbolDirectory folder and a description of the fields here:?

I haven't found the equivalent for NYSE yet.

I have a similar need right now and I'm looking into the different data providers like Polygon.io

Unless you're going after pink sheets too, the R3000 lists (1k + 2k) basically cover every listed stock in America.? Those aren't hard to find.??


 

Have you tried googling

"list of US tickers"

? Plenty of results

Everything non-NASDAQ is in otherlisted.txt.

The ftp referenced by Isaack and misantroop is definitely a good one, but I wanted to suggest this API link, returning a nice json with a bunch of EOD info as well:

"https://api.nasdaq.com/api/screener/stocks?tableonly=true&limit=25&offset=0&download=true"

it basically returns all the information from this screener:?? ? ?(what you get when clicking download CSV)
