Retrieve the type of an asset

[hourliert]

Hi,

That might be a very dumb question, but I am trying to get the category of a stock asset (eg. ETF, index fund, stock, etc). Is there a way of doing that using the API?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.

This seems to work well to retrieve the company info of a stock (eg. https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/profile2?symbol=AAPL&token={{Token}} or https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/profile2?symbol=AMD&token={{Token}}) but it returns an empty object {} when I use it with an ETF

Eg. https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/profile2?symbol=VWRL&token={{Token}} or https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/profile2?symbol=VWRl.L&token={{Token}}

All return {}.

What's interesting is that when I query https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/symbol?exchange=L&token={{Token}} to get all the stocks from the London Stock Exchange, I actually getVWRL.L in the response.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

This is not possible with the current API unfortunately.

No worries. Thanks! I hope this will be available at some point :)
