What is the Market Index API?
The Market Index API provides 15 endpoints covering ASX-listed securities, market indices, GICS sectors, director insider transactions, and company announcements. Endpoints like get_stock_overview return over a dozen fields per ticker including price, market cap, EPS, debt-to-equity, and GICS classification, while get_director_transactions delivers the 200 most recent insider buys, sells, exercises, and issuances across the entire exchange.
No input parameters required.

}About the Market Index API
Stock and Company Data
The get_asx_companies_list endpoint returns every ASX-listed company in a single unpaginated response, with each record containing code, title, type, and status. For deeper per-stock data, get_stock_overview accepts an uppercase code parameter (e.g. BHP, CBA) and returns price, volume, market cap in AUD, percentage change, sector, and a fundamentals object covering EPS, book value, debt-to-equity ratio, and shares outstanding. search_stocks matches against both ticker codes and full company names, returning up to 50 results.
Dividends and Director Transactions
get_upcoming_dividends lists upcoming dividend payments sorted by ex-date, each record including DPS, franking percentage, yield, and days until payment. get_highest_dividend_yield ranks ordinary shares, preference shares, and REITs by yield, adding gross yield, annual change, franking average, and DRP status. get_director_transactions returns the 200 most recent insider transactions exchange-wide — buy, sell, exercise, and issued — with director name, quantity, price, and total value. No filtering or pagination is available on this endpoint.
Announcements
get_asx_announcements supports limit and offset parameters for paginating across all ASX announcements, with each record flagged for price sensitivity and tagged with category types. get_stock_announcements scopes the same data to a single ticker and returns up to 50 announcements plus a count of the full available total. Once you have an announcement identifier (e.g. XASX:BHP:3A699003), get_announcement_pdf resolves it to a direct PDF download URL, file size, and page count. The get_microcap_announcements endpoint combines market cap filtering (via max_market_cap) with optional sector and date range filters to return announcements specifically from small-cap ordinary-share companies.
Market and Sector Overview
get_market_overview returns live quotes and historical averages for major ASX indices including the ASX 200, All Ords, Resources, Small Ords, and Industrials, plus a full all_indices array. get_asx_sectors covers all 11 GICS sectors with live price, change, percentage change, and period averages for YTD, year, month, and week. get_market_news retrieves recent Market Index articles with title, publication date, category, and related stock codes.
The Market Index API is a managed, monitored endpoint for marketindex.com.au — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when marketindex.com.au 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 marketindex.com.au 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.

Does Market Index have an official developer API?+
What does `get_stock_overview` return beyond basic price data?+
get_stock_overview returns last traded price, volume, market cap in AUD, change and change percentage, sector name, and a fundamentals object containing EPS, book value, debt-to-equity ratio, and shares outstanding. It also includes a company_sector object with full GICS classification details.Can I filter director transactions by company, transaction type, or date range?+
get_director_transactions returns the 200 most recent exchange-wide transactions pre-sorted by recency. No filtering by company, transaction type, or date is available on the endpoint itself. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add server-side or client-side filtering logic.Does the API expose historical price or OHLCV chart data for individual stocks?+
How does pagination work for ASX announcements?+
get_asx_announcements accepts limit and offset integer parameters. The response includes a count field with the total number of announcements available, so you can calculate the number of pages and iterate through them. get_stock_announcements is not paginated and returns up to 50 announcements for the specified ticker.
