About Individual Industry Classification API

The Individual Industry Classification endpoint provides the industry classification of a single company, based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Investors can use the Individual Industry Classification endpoint to identify the industry in which a particular company operates.

For example, an investor may want to use the Individual Industry Classification endpoint to identify the industry in which a particular technology company operates. This information could then be used to track the performance of the technology sector, to compare the company to other technology companies, and to make an informed decision about whether or not to invest in the company.
