The Search API<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To retrieve common identifiers (CUSIP, ISIN, OpenFIGI, LEI, and CIK) for a symbol, see the separate ID Mapping endpoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
