What's going wrong
Site owners who try to show commodities such as gold, silver, and oil, index values like the S&P 500 or Dow, currency pairs such as CAD to USD, and crypto such as BTC or ETH report that these symbols return nothing or are hard to identify. The symbol names used by the data provider are not obvious, and the documentation does not list them. Finance bloggers, commodity sites, and crypto news pages are most affected. A symbol lookup service that maps common names to the working provider codes, with tested examples, would help them.
