Migration Guide

Everything you need to do in order to migrate from Marketstack API version 1 to version 2.

Obtain the list of Tickers.

Marketstack v1:

In your current version v1, if you need to get the list of tickers supported by Marketstack API, you have to make an API call to `tickers` endpoint and then map through the data object to get the `names` or `symbols` only.

GET https://api.marketstack.com/v1/tickers?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Marketstack v2:

We have got a new endpoint called `List of Tickers` that will get you a list of tickers available. A smaller JSON response will save your bandwidth and you can expect a faster response.

Note: You can still use the `tickers` endpoint to obtain the list of tickers but that’s not the ideal way to do that as we have now a new endpoint for that in version 2.

GET https://api.marketstack.com/v1/tickers?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Sample Response

"data": [
           {
               "ticker": "A"
           },
           {
               "ticker": "AA"
           },
           {
               "ticker": "AAAP"
           },
           {
               "ticker": "AABA"
           },
           {
               "ticker": "AACAY"
           },...

Market Indices

In version 1, to access index data, simply pass INDX as your stock exchange MIC identification, as seen in the examples below. The example API request below illustrates how to obtain end-of-day data for the DJI market index.

GET https://api.marketstack.com/v1/eod?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&symbols=DJI.INDX

Version 2:

We have got a new endpoint called `indexlist` which will return the full list of supported benchmarks/indexes.

http://api.marketstack.com/v2/indexlist?access_key=[API_KEY]

Response:

{
    "region": "america",
    "country": "united states",
    "benchmark": "us500",
    "price": "5425.33", 
    "price_change_day": "50.01",
...

You can pass the index in the `index` required parameter in order to get the details of any particular index.

GET http://api.marketstack.com/v1/indexinfo?access_key=[API_KEY]&index=us500
