Search API for Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds

The Search API allows you to quickly locate assets such as stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, and indices by using a flexible query engine. You can search by ticker code, company name, or ISIN. This API is particularly useful for applications requiring user-friendly asset lookups or autocomplete suggestions.

The engine automatically adjusts search behavior based on the input string and considers asset popularity using metrics like market capitalization and trading volume. Filtering by asset type or exchange is supported.
