Stock symbols FAQ
How can I get a list of all stock symbols?
Call the iTick symbol list endpoint with the market type and region (for example type=stock, region=US). It returns every supported ticker with its company name and exchange in JSON.
How many US stocks are there?
There are roughly 10,000+ US-listed stocks and ETFs across NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. The exact count changes daily as companies list and delist, which is why an API is more reliable than a static spreadsheet.
How do I find a stock ticker from a company name?
Download the symbol list for the market and search the name field, or use the search box in your own app powered by the same data.
Do you provide crypto and forex symbols too?
Yes. The same endpoint returns symbol lists for forex pairs, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, indices, futures and funds.
Can I try the symbol list for free?
You can test the symbol list endpoint with the free API key and explore market coverage before subscribing. Plan-specific limits are listed on the pricing page.
