find_symbol
Resolve a company name to its exact US ticker symbol before querying any market data, or verify a ticker you were given. Returns ranked matches with symbol, name, exchange, and asset class, prioritizing exact tickers and listed exchanges.
Instructions
Find a ticker from a company's NAME, or check one you were given: {query, results: [{symbol, name, exchange, asset_class}]}, best match first.
CALL THIS BEFORE GUESSING. Every other tool here takes a ticker, and a guess that lands on the wrong listing answers confidently about the wrong company — "Robinhood" is HOOD, but an ETF named after a company often carries a symbol closer to its name than the company's own. The ranking puts an exact ticker first, then a ticker prefix, then a name prefix, then all your words present; an exchange listing outranks an over-the-counter one and a derivative is demoted.
Keyless: this is the SEC's own ticker list plus the coin pairs that can be charted, so it answers whatever the reader has connected. An empty result means no US listing matched — it does not mean the company does not exist, only that it is not in the SEC's list (a foreign line, or a private one).
