programming - Symbols for DAX from Alpha Vantage


I found the website https://www.alphavantage.co as an alternative for yahoo finance stock API.


I am interested in the top 30 DAX symbols, but I seem to cannot find them on Alpha Vantage. Is there a list of supported stock exchange markets and symbols, where I can look for that?



Answer



Please use BMV instead of BMW (I don't know Alpha Vantage reasons for it)


Playing a little bit it looks the symbol for the index is just DAX:


https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY&symbol=DAX&interval=1min&apikey=MYAPIKEY

Which retrives this answer:


"1. Information": "Intraday (1min) prices and volumes",

"2. Symbol": "DAX",
"3. Last Refreshed": "2018-02-23 15:13:00",
"4. Interval": "1min",
"5. Output Size": "Compact",
"6. Time Zone": "US/Eastern"

So if you try any of the stocks belonging to the DAX you´ll see if they are available on Alpha Vantage. Just replace XXSYMBOLXX with the one you are interested and use your API KEY instead of MYAPIKEY:
