title: How to get a ticker symbol from a company name with the Google Finance API?
body: <p>This matter (getting a symbol form a company name) has already been solved in the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/885456/stock-ticker-symbol-lookup-api">following thread</a> with  Yahoo's API and I found the first and third answers quite useful.
  I also noticed that the second answer dealt with Google Finance but it uses ticker symbols and not the company name ...</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I learnt that Yahoo sometimes uses different ticker symbols from the stock exchanges.</p>
  
  <p>So I would like to do the <strong>same thing</strong> — that is, I give a company name and I get its symbol — but with the Google Finance API, instead of Yahoo's.</p>
  
  <p>Is that possible ? Thanks</p>
