select * from yahoo.finance.industry where id in (1,2,3....260) this will give you list of companies and there symbols. start with select * from yahoo.finance.industry where id in (112) and see if it works.
But when requesting the data from yahoo finance their ticker symbol is needed to build the URL, however when you enter the ISIN in their search field you get the correct output without any struggle. As of right now im using the url to request the site by html and parse it to get the information.
Without an impartial body to allocate the symbols it is really not worth much, IMHO. The difficulty in naming financial instruments lies not so much with exchange traded instruments like equities. That is rather simple: Take the exchange's own ticker symbol and then add some self-invented identifier to denote the market place.
The problem that I am encountering is that a large part of the symbols that are listed in this file do not exist on Yahoo Finance. This leads to a lot of unnecessary processing, because the yfinance API runs into a lot of errors, which are handled recursively.
I've been using this API called Stock Coverage from unibit. It covers around 70,000 stocks from 49 exchanges. Though I'm not sure if it is the most updated. A few recent IPOs can be found in the list. The ticker standard seem to complies with Yahoo's and it works with many of the other APIs in their site.
Pick the one you are interested in and answer their silly robot barrier "puzzle" and download the csv file, in which the ticker symbol is the first column. Edit: With TTR_0.20-3 from r-forge, the list appears more complete than with the prior version: require(TTR) SYMs <- TTR::stockSymbols() #Fetching AMEX symbols... #Fetching NASDAQ symbols...
If you want to understand a companies key competitors analytically, without digging through the financials yourself. sells supply chain data that may be useful. provides a list of related stock symbols (competitors) for an underlying stock input. Thanks for contributing an answer to Quantitative Finance Stack Exchange!
I use Yahoo finance to get financial data. How do I get a list of all the ticker symbols in NYSE, NYSEMKT and NASDAQ stock exchanges.
I think the stock exchanges post something similar. This is the tedious part: you can use the established company name to ticker search which is difficult to parse or this other search that gives everything on a given result. I use the second search.
For symbol 2154 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, there was such a 2-for-1 split on 2016/3/29. However when looking at csv data download from Yahoo, I see the "adjusted close" doubling (not halving), while the unadjusted "Close", as well as Open, High, Low, barely move.
