Nasdaq API Skill

Use this skill to fetch stock-universe data from Nasdaq's public screener endpoint and to ground API decisions in official Nasdaq Data Link docs.

Workflow

Confirm scope before calling APIs:

If the task is stock screener rows/symbol lists, use scripts/nasdaq-screener.sh.
If the task is product/API selection, auth, or limits, read references/api_docs.md first.

Use the CLI instead of ad-hoc curl when possible:

Run scripts/nasdaq-screener.sh --help for options.
Start with --limit and --offset for deterministic pagination.
Use --format symbols for ticker-only output, or --format rows for JSON row objects.

Handle reliability constraints:

Include browser-like headers (script does this by default).
Prefer retries in caller workflows for transient failures.
Keep requests paced; avoid burst loops.

Validate result shape before downstream logic:

Expect top-level data.rows for screener queries.
Fail fast if status.bCodeMessage is present or data.rows is missing.
