Use by_ticker when a financial or market-data workflow starts with a public ticker symbol. The returned profile uses the shared Brand shape and can include a stock object.

Send a ticker

The PHP tab uses the SDK’s low-level request method because the 2.14.0 Brand helper requires conflicting lookup fields. See the PHP guide for details.
Ticker values can contain letters, numbers, and periods and are limited to 15 characters. The endpoint costs 10 credits.

Avoid ambiguous symbols

The contract defaults to NASDAQ when ticker_exchange is omitted. Send the exchange whenever your source data includes it, especially for symbols reused across markets. After a match, compare the returned brand.stock.ticker, brand.stock.exchange, company title, and domain with your source record. Do not treat the symbol alone as a globally unique company identifier.

Production behavior

  • Treat an unrecognized or delisted symbol as a normal no-match.
  • Persist the exchange with the ticker in your own model.
  • Keep a review path for corporate actions that change a company’s name, domain, or symbol.
  • maxSpeed, force_language, maxAgeMs, timeoutMS, and tags are available on this lookup.
