For example, how to filter out companies in the biological sector with a capitalization of 2 to 5 billion, starting with A, with a dividend yield > 9% and which yesterday had growth from 10% to 20% and, if desired, with a number of conditions? With our screener, you will receive output for analysis in a fraction of a second.

Retrieving Screener Data
The Screener API is available under ‘All World Extended’ and ‘All-In-One’ data packages. Each Screener API request consumes 5 API calls. The Screener API is a powerful tool that helps you filter out tickers with the given parameters.
List of supported parameters
Filter – filters out tickers by different fields. For example: filters=[[“field1”, “operation1”, value1],[“field2”, “operation2”, value2] , … ].
Signals – Filter out tickers by signals, the calculated fields. For example, signals=signal1,signal2,…
Sort – Sorts all fields with type ‘Number’ in ascending/descending order.
Limit – the number of results should be returned with the query. Default value: 50, minimum value: 1, maximum value: 100.
Offset – The offset of the data. Default value: 0, minimum value: 0, maximum value: 1000. For example, to get 100 symbols starting from 200 you should use limit=100 and offset=200.
screener_extended = api.stock_market_screener (filters = [["market_capitalization",">",1000]], limit = "100", offset = "200")The API response is a JSON array containing data for all the requested tickers. You can convert the resulting JSON array to a DataFrame for further analysis:
screener_m = pd.DataFrame(screener_extended)
print (screener_m)List of supported signals
- 50d_new_lo, 50d_new_hi, 200d_new_lo, 200d_new_hi – filters tickers that have new 50/200 days lows or new 50/200 days highs.
