Overview
The Get Ticker Symbol action retrieves a company's stock ticker symbol by checking the company's domain against a database. It takes a single input - the company's website URL - and returns either the stock ticker symbol if the company is publicly traded, or "Not found" if the company is not publicly traded or its ticker symbol is unavailable in the database. This action is particularly useful when working with data sources that require a company's stock ticker symbol, such as SEC filings or financial analysis workflows.
Usage Examples
Usage in Research - This action can be helpful when you need to look up a company's stock ticker symbol, such as for researching SEC filings or any other information that requires the stock ticker.
Inputs
company domain - The URL of the company website you want to get the stock ticker symbol for.

Outputs
The Get Ticker Symbol action has two potential outputs:
Stock Ticker Symbol: If the company domain provided as input corresponds to a publicly traded company, the output will be the stock ticker symbol for that company. For example, if the input is
nike.com, the output will beNKEwhich is Nike's stock ticker symbol.Not found: If the company domain provided as input does not correspond to a publicly traded company, the output will be the string
Not found. This indicates that the company is either not publicly traded.
Troubleshooting
Error getting ticker symbol - If you see an error message saying "error getting ticker symbol", it means that the input you provided is not a valid company website domain. The Get Ticker Symbol action expects a company's website URL as input to retrieve the corresponding stock ticker symbol. If the input is not a valid domain, it will return this error message.
Not found - If the action does not return a stock ticker symbol, it means that the company you provided is either not publicly traded or its ticker symbol is not available in the database. In this case, the action will output "Not found".
