Get Corporate Actions for a Security

Fetch all impending corporate actions for a specific security

Introduction

This GET endpoint enables you to fetch the list of all impending corporate actions of a specific security by providing its ticker symbol.

There are four required parameters that must be provided in the request:

1. Et-App-Key (header). This is the unique key of your app that identifies your app when communicating with our service. Contact your administrator to get this key.

2. Authorization (header). This is the authorization token from the very first token request.

3. API version (path). Unless necessary, leave it at "1.0".

4. symbol (query). This is the ticker symbol of the security for which corporate actions must be fetched.

Here's the final template for this API request:

GET apiURL/v1.0/news/corporate-actions?symbol=T

Response

In response to this API request, you'll receive a JSON file containing the list of the recent and impending corporate actions of the specified security.

Common Mistakes

Here are some of the common mistakes that developers make when attempting to retrieve the corporate actions of a specific security.

Failing to Specify the Et-App-Key Parameter

If you specify the wrong Et-App-Key parameter or fail to include it in the header altogether, you'll get the following error:

{
    "error": "Application key is not defined or does not exist"
}

Failing to Specify the Query Parameters

It's crucial to understand that the security parameter must be provided in the request; otherwise you'll receive the 404 status code.
