Introducing

New Metadata APIs

Apr 17, 2018

We have been working hard to add new meta data APIs. These are APIs around symbols like:

• Dividends
• Stock Splits
• Company Details
• News
• Earnings

There are also new APIs to help with mappings. For example there are APIs to list all exchanges and their IDs, stock symbol types, etc.

Here are some examples for AAPL ( Apple Inc )
