Stock ticker symbol lookup API [closed]

若如初见. 提交于 2019-11-26 18:03:38
Is there any sort of API that just offers a simple symbol lookup service? i.e., input a company name and it will tell you the ticker symbol? I've tried just screen-scraping Google Finance, but after a little while it rate limits you and you have to enter a CAPTCHA. I'm trying to batch-lookup about 2000 ticker symbols. Any ideas? Jalmarez You can use yahoo's symbol lookup like so: http://d.yimg.com/autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc?query=yahoo&callback=YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback Where query is the company name. You'll get something like this in return: YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest

What online brokers offer APIs? [closed]

问题 So I\'m getting really sick of E*TRADE and, being a developer, would love to find an online broker that offers an API. It would be great to be able to write my own trading tools, and maybe even modify existing ones. Based on my research so far, I\'ve only found one option. Interactive Brokers offers a multi-language API (Java/C++/ActiveX/DDE) and has some fairly decent commission rates to boot. I want to make sure there aren\'t any other options out there I should be considering. Any ideas?
