Google Finance Ticker Search API
Scrape Google Finance Ticker Search data with one API call. Searches Google Finance for financial instruments matching a name and returns a unified QuoteList — each row carries the `id` (e.g. 'AAPL:NASDAQ', '.INX:INDEXSP', 'EUR-USD') to feed into /v1/google_finance/quote, plus the ticker, display name, exchange, live price, and `type` discriminator. Spans stocks, ETFs, indices, and forex/crypto pairs (asset pairs populate `quote.pair`, with a null `ticker`). Filter by instrument class with `category`. Sourced live from DataForSEO's Google Finance SERP (~2-3s).
