Ticker directory

Enumerate indexed tickers in mentions order, each with its issuer's reference data and Atlas entity: lite records by default, observed metadata on view=full.

GET/api/v2.0/tickers

Authorizations

Bearer

Authorizationstringheader

Required Bearer API key for programmatic World access.

Example: Bearer nos_sk_...

Parameters

query & path

viewenumquery

The records returned: lite (the default), each entity's or ticker's identity, event count, date range and events per year, enough to choose one and fetch its events; or full, which adds the facets and numeric statistics of its events and a ticker's complete reference data. Any other value is a 422 validation_error.

Example: lite

pageintegerquery

1-based page number of limit tickers. Ignored when cursor is sent.

Example: 1

limitintegerquery

Entries per page: 1 to 500 with view=lite, 1 to 100 with view=full. Defaults to 50.

Example: 50

min_eventsintegerquery

Only entries with at least this many events. Defaults to 1. The directory is in event order, so this cuts its long tail: most names have one or two events.

Example: 10

cursorstringquery

next_cursor of the previous page, to walk the whole directory. A cursor belongs to one index build and one set of filters (type, min_events): after the daily index rebuild it is refused with 410 cursor_expired, so start again from the first page. page is ignored when cursor is sent.

How to use this endpoint

guidance

In V2.0, each ticker names the Atlas entity of its issuer in reference.entity, when the issuer has one. Use the Ticker Directory like Entity Directory: page through indexed tickers in mentions-desc order with page and limit, or walk them all with next_cursor; min_events cuts rarely mentioned tickers. Each lite record has the ticker's identity, event count and events per year, and its issuer's name, identifiers, listing, country and Atlas entity in reference; view=full adds the observed metadata and the complete reference data.

Responses and errors

HTTP

200Request succeeded. The response body is shown in the panel on the right.

400invalid_json — The request body is not JSON. Every error body, 401 included, is {error, message, status}.

401invalid_api_key — The API key is invalid or has been revoked.

403access_denied — The requested archive date is outside the caller's World tier.

422validation_error — The request is well formed but the API cannot decode or validate it: an unknown body field or query parameter, a missing required parameter, a value of the wrong type, an empty and, or or not, a date that is not a calendar date (in the path, the query or the body), an unknown enum value or a reversed range. The message names the parameter and what is wrong.

404not_found — The requested date, entity, ticker, or event does not exist in the accessible index.

410cursor_expired — The cursor was minted against a replaced index build. Restart pagination from the first page.

429rate_limited — The request exceeded the endpoint or account rate limit. Respect Retry-After when supplied.

501backend_not_configured — The World backend is not configured for this deployment.

503api_key_auth_unavailable — API key authentication is temporarily unavailable; retry shortly.

503api_key_metering_unavailable — API key usage metering is temporarily unavailable, so the request was not served; wait for the Retry-After header (30 seconds) and retry.

502backend_error — The World backend could not be reached or did not return a valid response; retry shortly.

504backend_timeout — The World backend did not answer within 300 seconds; narrow the request (for example with a date window) or retry.

503resolve_index_unavailable — The ticker directory index is not loaded; retry after the next index publish.

422cursor_invalid — The cursor could not be read; start again from the first page.

422cursor_filter_mismatch — The cursor belongs to a walk with another type or min_events; drop it to start a new walk.

410cursor_expired — The index was rebuilt since the cursor was issued, which reorders the directory; start again from the first page.
