Hello, I believe you have already seen my IEX C++ API. I recently wrote this for mine (I have not pushed it yet as I am still implementing it fully), here is the code for the symbol checking. If you would like to use it feel free, I like what you're doing with this.

You'll need to include Algorithm for std::find()

Update, that pastebin link is now outdated. I added boost::to_upper(symbol) to it, as I realized all symbols returned from IEX are uppercase. I've also finished adding this to my project and have pushed the changes. See latest commit for how to resolve this issue here: https://github.com/Chudleyj/IEX_CPP_API

Created pull request, however the functions are not ever called, so the symbols are not being checked yet.
