Yahoo Finance Ticker Search | Company Name to Symbol

Look up Yahoo Finance ticker symbols from a company name, keyword, or partial symbol. Each result includes the full symbol (with exchange suffix), company name, and exchange code—ready for stock data pipelines and watchlists.

Input

Output

Results are saved to the run dataset—one JSON object per match.

Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab, or use the Apify API and integrations.

Pricing Structure

Pay per usage — you are charged for Apify compute (runtime, memory) for each run. Lookups are fast; cost is usually small per query.

Examples

Example 1: Company name

Input

{
"query":"Apple",
"limit":5
}

Output

[
{"symbol":"AAPL","shortname":"Apple Inc.","exchange":"NMS"},
{"symbol":"AAPL.L","shortname":"Apple Inc.","exchange":"LSE"}
]

Example 2: Partial symbol across exchanges

Input

{
"query":"ONWD",
"limit":10
}

Output: Multiple listings such as ONWD.BR, ONWD-GB with exchange codes.

Example 3: Single best match

Input: { "query": "Microsoft", "limit": 1 }

Output: One row—useful when you only need the primary US listing.

Best Practices

1. Use the full symbol (with suffix) in downstream actors—bare symbols like ONWD may not resolve.
2. Check exchange — pick NMS for US NASDAQ, NYQ for NYSE, LSE for London, etc.
3. limit: 10–20 is enough for most lookups; lower limits keep runs faster.
4. Disambiguate common names (Ford vs Ford Motor Credit) by adding industry keywords to query.
5. Chain to a Yahoo Finance stock data actor using the returned symbol for prices and fundamentals.

Next step

After you have ticker symbols, fetch prices, financials, news, and historical data with a full Yahoo Finance stock actor on Apify.
