We have been working hard to add new meta data APIs. These are APIs around symbols like:

Dividends
Stock Splits
Company Details
News
Earnings

There are also new APIs to help with mappings. For example there are APIs to list all exchanges and their IDs, stock symbol types, etc.

Here are some examples for AAPL ( Apple Inc )
