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.Avoid ambiguous symbols
The contract defaults to NASDAQ whenticker_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.
