Unmatched symbols/indexes

[TuringSage]

The symbols returned by the GET best/worst performers dont match the symbols returned by the GET tickers.
For example Addoha P (performer) vs ADH vs "Douja Promotion Groupe Addoha" (Ticker)
Its hard to link them unless hardcoded and kept an eye on or some kind of regex pattern finding ..

@TuringSage, we appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. Indeed, there is a discrepancy between the symbols and names returned by the GET best/worst performers and those related to GET tickers. The issue arises primarily because we present the data of the best/worst performers endpoint in its original form, a form that does not facilitate users to perform further computational analysis on the provided information due to the absence of the ticker identifier.

A solution for this problem will be implemented as soon as feasible. In the meantime, a temporary workaround would be to refer to the constant COMPANIES and utilize its data to match the name received from the GET best/worst performers with its corresponding ticker symbol, for instance:

import StocksMa as stm

companies = stm.constants.COMPANIES
print(companies["ADH"])

CompanyInfo(name='Douja Promotion Groupe Addoha', other_name='Addoha P', isin='MA0000011512')

It is evident that the named tuple CompanyInfo comprises the necessary data to conduct a search for the appropriate ticker symbol from the constant COMPANIES using the name provided in the GET best/worst performers functions. Nonetheless, utilizing this method will result in the omission of certain companies, particularly: {AKDITAL P, ATLANTASANAD P, SOTHEMA P}. Hence, to accomplish the task, it is advisable to utilize basic regex with the provided workaround solution.
