Search API for Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds

The Search API lets you quickly locate assets such as stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and indices with a flexible query engine. You can search by ticker code, company name, or ISIN. It is ideal for user-friendly asset lookups and autocomplete suggestions.

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

To retrieve common identifiers (CUSIP, ISIN, OpenFIGI, LEI, and CIK) for a symbol, see the separate ID Mapping endpoint.

Search Endpoint

Pass your query as the path segment. It can be a ticker symbol, a company name, or an ISIN.

GET https://eodhd.com/api/search/{query_string}

Replace {query_string} with your search input — a ticker symbol, company name, or ISIN. If it contains spaces, URL-encode them (for example, Apple Inc becomes Apple%20Inc).

The demo API token does not work for the Search API — register for a free token to use it. The search runs over active tickers only.

Parameters

Your EODHD API token

limit integer optional

Number of results to return (Default: 15, Range: 1-500)

type enum optional

Filter by asset type. Allowed values: all, stock, etf, fund, index, crypto
