GET /v1/symbols

Updated

What does GET /v1/symbols do?

Every trading pair a venue lists, as the venue’s own symbols. Returns the list of pairs a venue currently lists, written as that venue’s own symbol strings. Use it to discover what you can query on a venue before calling latest or series.

The list tracks listings and delistings, so it is the honest current universe for that venue rather than a static file.
