FMP Company Search

Find companies by symbol, name, or regulatory identifiers. Use before any symbol-based FMP call when the user provides a company name or identifier.

Data Model

• Symbol — primary key (e.g. AAPL, MSFT). Partial match for search.
• CIK (Central Index Key) — SEC identifier.
• CUSIP/ISIN — security identifiers for cross-reference.
• Screener — filters by exchange, sector, industry.
• Exchange variants — symbols per exchange.

Gotchas

• Symbol case: FMP symbols are uppercase. Normalize before passing.
• CIK padding: CIK is 10 digits; pad with leading zeros if needed.
• Screener limits: Default limit applies. Set limit explicitly for large result sets.
• Exchange param: Use available exchanges (Stock Directory) for valid values.
