Overview
The node provides access to DataForSEO's API, specifically enabling the search for Google Finance tickers based on a keyword related to a company or financial instrument. This operation is useful for users who want to retrieve financial instrument symbols (tickers) from Google Finance by specifying a company name or other relevant keywords.
Common scenarios include:
- Financial analysts or developers building apps that need to map company names to their stock tickers.
- Automated workflows that enrich datasets with financial instrument identifiers.
- Market research tools that require quick lookup of ticker symbols across various categories like stocks, indices, mutual funds, currencies, and futures.
Example: Searching for the ticker symbol of "Apple" in the US market with English language settings to get the corresponding stock ticker.
