Complete List of Ticker Sectors in U.S. Stock Market

Init

I was testing the use of some REST API calls and this is only a toy idea. However, this is a relatively complete list of U.S. market stocks with their corresponding sector ETF symbols. I thought this might be helpful for some people.

API

import yfinance as yf

def get_yf_sector(ticker):
    try:
        info = yf.Ticker(ticker).info
        if 'sector' in info:
            if info['sector'] == '':
                return 'N/A'
            return info['sector']
        elif 'quoteType' in info and 'ETF' in info['quoteType']:
            return 'ETF'
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Failed to get sector from yfinance {ticker}: {e}')

    return 'N/A'

test_list = ['SPY', 'NVDA', 'AMD', 'TSLA']
for ticker in test_list:
    print(get_yf_sector(ticker))

As you can see, the real ETF tickers are marked with ETF.

If this is useful to you, please consider helping enlarge this list by adding new tickers or modifying the incorrect sectors. However, please do NOT remove tickers even they were out of the market now (for example FB) because then it will make the list incomplete. Also, do NOT add any N/A entries.
