How can I use Python to get a list of all stock ticker symbols?

Yo, I feel you on the struggle to python get list of all stock ticker symbols. Honestly, free APIs are kinda limited, but I’ve had luck with Alpha Vantage’s free tier. They have a `LISTING_STATUS` endpoint that gives you all active tickers.

Here’s the link: [Alpha Vantage](https://www.alphavantage.co/). Just sign up for a free API key and you’re good to go.

Also, if you’re okay with scraping, I’d recommend using BeautifulSoup to pull tickers from financial websites like MarketWatch. It’s a bit of work, but it’s free!
