Query parameters (optional)

category: Filter by forex, metals, crypto, or indices.
active: Set to true to filter out symbols whose terminal coverage is currently offline.

Tip: Symbol coverage is dynamic and updates as new broker terminals connect. Cache the response for a few minutes locally rather than hitting /v1/symbols on every request.
