Co APImarketview.luse.co.zm ↗
Access live last-traded prices for all securities listed on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LUSE) via a single API endpoint.
What is the Co API?
The LUSE MarketView API provides live pricing data for every security listed on the Lusaka Securities Exchange through a single endpoint, get_securities_prices. One call returns an array covering all listed tickers and their last-traded prices — no pagination, no filtering required. It is a straightforward feed for any application that needs current LUSE market data.
No input parameters required.

}About the Co API
What the API Returns
The get_securities_prices endpoint returns a flat array of security objects. Each object contains a ticker symbol identifying the listed security and its last-traded price on the LUSE. The response covers all currently listed securities in one call, so there is no need to iterate through pages or manage cursors.
Endpoint Behavior
get_securities_prices accepts no input parameters — POST the endpoint and receive the full securities list. This design is intentional for the LUSE context, where the total number of listed instruments is small enough that returning everything at once is practical. Response time reflects live market conditions during trading hours.
Coverage and Scope
Coverage is limited to securities listed on the Lusaka Securities Exchange. The response fields exposed are the ticker symbol and last-traded price per security. Additional market data such as bid/ask spreads, trading volumes, market capitalization, or historical prices are not part of the current response schema.
The Co API is a managed, monitored endpoint for marketview.luse.co.zm — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when marketview.luse.co.zm changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official marketview.luse.co.zm API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
