Search API for Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds and Indices

Our Search API for Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds, and Indices is one of the best ways to quickly search assets either by code or by company or asset name. The search engine automatically understands if there asset name or code or even ISIN and prioritizes the search fields accordingly. The search engine has several parameters for result ordering. We take into account not only search queries but also market capitalization and the average trading volume for the past period.
