S&P500 Constituents
Returns data from the [sp500] table.
This table provides the current and historical constituents of the S&P500 index.
For more information on the dataset and the available indicators, please review the sp500 table on the Explorer page.
The table is queried via the following endpoint
https://api.sharadar.com/v1.0/data/sp500?api_key=test-api-key&ticker=AAPLThe queries are authenticated and filtered using query parameters. A query parameter specifies a particular option or filter for the data to be returned. Examples of query parameter include the data format to be returned (format), the table columns to return (fields) or a filter to be applied (tablename). These are appended to the endpoint above, following a ?. The most important of these is your API key (api_key) which is used to authenticate you. Without a valid API key, results will not be returned.
