Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your instrumentType filter. If you selected a type with few listings, like RIGHT or TRUST, the directory may have only a handful of entries. Try EQUITY or EXCHANGE_TRADED_FUND to see more results.

Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?

The Actor stops when it has collected all listings that match your filter. If the directory has fewer listings than your maxItems, you will get all of them.

Why is the output sorted differently than I expected?

Check the sortColumn and sortOrder inputs. The default is ticker symbol ascending. If you want name order, set sortColumn to INSTRUMENT_NAME.

Why are some listings missing?

The NYSE directory may paginate or lazy-load. If you suspect missing data, increase maxItems and run again. If the problem persists, contact support with your run ID.
