# Get the Argaam sector classification for a company.

`GET` `/api/v1.1/companies/{stockSymbol}/sector`

Operation ID: `getCompaniesByStockSymbolSector`

Returns the company's position in the Argaam industry taxonomy: sector, sub-sector, and industry group (Arabic + English names). The Argaam classification is independent of the exchange's own sector tree and follows GICS-inspired groupings optimized for GCC markets. **Tip:** For a cross-market sector roster use `GET /markets/stock-classification`.

## Path parameters

- `stockSymbol` (string, required) - Tadawul stock symbol of the company, e.g. `2222` (Saudi Aramco).

## Query parameters

- `marketId` (string, optional) - Numeric market identifier (e.g. `1` = Tadawul / Saudi main market). Use `GET /api/v1.1/markets` to list valid values.

## Responses

- `200` - Success
