Index Symbols API: List Every Index Code as JSON
An index symbols API is the directory call you make before /api/latest — every supported ticker mapped to a name. On Indices-API that is GET https://indices-api.com/api/symbols?access_key=. The published sample is truncated with [...]; the map grows, so do not freeze a full list in application code.
PRO is $49.99/mo with a 7-day trial (5 indices per request on latest, 10-minute refresh). Docs: indices-api.com/documentation (Supported Symbols).
Request: full symbol map
curl "https://indices-api.com/api/symbols?access_key=YOUR_API_KEY"
Response: official symbols sample (truncated)
{
"success": true,
"symbols": {
"000001": "SSE Composite",
"AORD": "ALL ORDINARIES",
"AXJO": "S&P/ASX 200",
"BFX": "BEL 20",
"BSESN": "BSE SENSEX",
"BVSP": "IBOVESPA",
"BUK100P": "Cboe UK 100"
}
}
Docs cut the object with [...]. GSPC and NYA appear on latest examples; confirm they still exist in this map before you hard-code a dashboard.
Then pull a print
curl "https://indices-api.com/api/latest?access_key=YOUR_API_KEY&base=USD&symbols=NYA,EGX-30,GSPC"
On latest only, S&P 500 is often rates.USDGSPC when base=USD. MCP: https://indices-api.com/mcp — endpoint https://indices-api.mcp.indices-api.com/mcp?api_key=, tools indices.symbols / indices.latest.
