No exchange suffix is required to handle Canadian listings. The extension accepts .TO and .TSX as well as no suffix. Additionally, a composite ticker symbol can be entered. For example, AAPL trades as a Canadian Depositary Receipt, under the symbol AAPL:AQN, on the NEO Exchange. The US listing is also found as AAPL:US. Some US and select European data is available from some functions, like quote and historical.
Indices all begin with ^.
This extension uses aiohttp-client-cache with a SQL backend to cache symbol directories, ETF, and index data. It can be bypassed with the parameter, use_cache=False. ETF and index data is gathered from a single JSON file which is updated daily by the exchange. The HTTP request is cached for one day.
