# Get the canonical Argaam stock classification list (cross-market).

`GET` `/api/v1.1/markets/stock-classification`

Operation ID: `getMarketsStockClassification`

Returns the complete Argaam stock taxonomy, mapping each listed company to its stock type (ordinary share, REIT, ETF, preferred share, etc.) across all GCC exchanges. This classification is independent of each exchange's own sector tree and is used as the master reference for Argaam screeners and heatmaps. **Tip:** For per-company financial ratios across all classified stocks use `GET /companies/stock-classification/ratios`. For exchange-specific sector trees use `GET /markets/{marketId}/sectors`.

## Responses
