list_instruments
Search the full universe of tradable instruments with optional filtering by ticker, name, or type. Returns up to 17,000 instruments including stocks, ETFs, and more.
Instructions
Search the tradable instrument universe.
The API returns the full universe (roughly 17,000 instruments) in one
response with no server-side filtering, so search,
instrument_type, and limit are applied client-side here.
Rate limit: 1 request per 50 seconds — strict. Every call fetches the whole universe, so batch your lookups into one broad search rather than issuing several calls in quick succession.
Returns per instrument: ticker (unique T212 identifier such as
"AAPL_US_EQ"; may contain "/" like "BRK/A_US_EQ"), type, name,
shortName (exchange symbol, may contain dots), isin,
currencyCode (ISO 4217, except "GBX" — pence — for some LSE
lines), maxOpenQuantity (fractional allowed), and
extendedHours (whether it trades outside the regular session).
