[View GCC Markets →](#gcc-markets)[View International Markets](#international-markets) How to use this page ## [Select the correct market value.](#select-the-correct-market-value) Current reference ### [GCC operations](#gcc-operations) Use MarketID when the API operation expects an Argaam GCC market identifier. ### [International operations](#international-operations) Use InternationalMarketID or StockSymbol exactly as required by the operation. ### [Bilingual display](#bilingual-display) Use the Arabic and English names for interfaces, reports, and data validation. ### [Currency context](#currency-context) GCC market records include the related country and currency mappings. **8 GCC market records**Including TASI and NOMU **9 international markets**USA, Europe, and Asia **6 GCC currencies**AED, SAR, QAR, KWD, OMR, BHD **Arabic and English**Bilingual market names Using market mappings ## [Choose the parameter that matches the selected API operation.](#choose-the-parameter-that-matches-the-selected-api-operation) The API catalog remains the source of truth for the parameter name and casing. This page provides the approved reference values. ### [MarketID](#marketid) Use for GCC markets such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, TASI, NOMU, Qatar, Kuwait, Muscat, and Bahrain. ### [InternationalMarketID](#internationalmarketid) Use when an international-market operation requires the internal numeric identifier. ### [StockSymbol](#stocksymbol) Use index symbols such as DJI, IXIC, GSPC, GDAXI, FCHI, FTSE, HSI, N225, or BSESN when required. GCC Markets ## [GCC market, country, and currency mappings.](#gcc-market-country-and-currency-mappings) Use MarketID as the controlled identifier for GCC market-level operations when the selected API documentation requires it. 8 records | MarketID | MarketNameAr | MarketNameEn | StockExchangeNameAr | StockExchangeNameEn | CountryID | CountryNameEn | CountryNameAr | CurrencyID | CurrencyCode | CurrencyNameAr | CurrencyNameEn | | :------- | :----------- | :----------- | :------------------ | :------------------ | :-------- | :------------ | :----------------------- | :--------- | :----------- | :------------- | :------------- | | 1 | دبي | Dubai | DFM | DFM | 143 | UAE | الإمارات | 1 | AED | درهم | Dirham | | 2 | أبو ظبي | Abu Dhabi | ADX | ADX | 143 | UAE | الإمارات | 1 | AED | درهم | Dirham | | 3 | تاسي | TASI | تداول | Tadawul | 123 | Saudi Arabia | المملكة العربية السعودية | 3 | SAR | ريال | Riyal | | 4 | قطر | Qatar | QSE | QSE | 119 | Qatar | قطر | 4 | QAR | ريال قطري | Riyal-Q | | 5 | الكويت | Kuwait | KSE | KSE | 76 | Kuwait | الكويت | 6 | KWD | دينار كويتي | Dinar-K | | 6 | مسقط | Muscat | MSM | MSM | 109 | Oman | سلطنة عمان | 5 | OMR | ريال عماني | Riyal-O | | 7 | البحرين | Bahrain | BSE | BSE | 10 | Bahrain | البحرين | 7 | BHD | دينار بحريني | Dinar-B | | 14 | نمو | NOMU | تداول | Tadawul | 123 | Saudi Arabia | المملكة العربية السعودية | 3 | SAR | ريال | Riyal | **TASI and NOMU are separate market records.** Both use Tadawul as the exchange and Saudi Arabia/SAR as the country and currency context, but they have different MarketID values: TASI = 3 and NOMU = 14. International Markets ## [International index and regional mappings.](#international-index-and-regional-mappings) Use InternationalMarketID or StockSymbol according to the operation schema shown in the API catalog. 9 records | InternationalMarketID | StockSymbol | MarketNameEn | MarketNameAr | RegionID | RegionNameEn | RegionNameAr | | :-------------------- | :---------- | :----------- | :------------ | :------- | :----------- | :----------- | | 1 | DJI | DOW JONES | داو جونز | 1 | USA | أمريكا | | 2 | IXIC | NASDAQ | نازداك | 1 | USA | أمريكا | | 3 | GSPC | S&P 500 | إس اند بي 500 | 1 | USA | أمريكا | | 4 | GDAXI | Frankfurt | داكس | 2 | Europe | أوروبا | | 5 | FCHI | Paris | كاك 40 | 2 | Europe | أوروبا | | 6 | FTSE | FTSE 100 | فوتسي 100 | 2 | Europe | أوروبا | | 11 | HSI | Hong Kong | هانق سنق | 3 | Asia | آسيا | | 14 | N225 | Tokyo | نيكي 225 | 3 | Asia | آسيا | | 28 | BSESN | India | سنيسكس الهندي | 3 | Asia | آسيا | **StockSymbol identifies the international index series.** For example, DJI identifies the Dow Jones series, IXIC identifies NASDAQ, and GSPC identifies the S&P 500. Copy the published symbol exactly. Mapping relationships ## [Understand how market records connect to related values.](#understand-how-market-records-connect-to-related-values) These relationships help developers interpret responses and build consistent market selectors, filters, labels, and reporting interfaces. **MarketID**Primary GCC market identifier. **Market Name**Arabic and English display names. **Exchange Name**Related stock-exchange label. **CountryID**Country context for the market. **CurrencyID / Code**Currency used for market context. **InternationalMarketID**Internal identifier for the index record. **StockSymbol**Published international index symbol. **Market Name**Arabic and English display labels. **RegionID**Regional grouping identifier. **Region Name**USA, Europe, or Asia. ### [Keep identifiers in your data model](#keep-identifiers-in-your-data-model) Store MarketID or InternationalMarketID as the stable reference and use names only for display. ### [Preserve bilingual labels](#preserve-bilingual-labels) Keep both Arabic and English names available so interfaces can switch language without remapping. ### [Do not infer missing mappings](#do-not-infer-missing-mappings) Use only the values published in this reference and the selected API documentation. ## [Use these mappings with the live API documentation.](#use-these-mappings-with-the-live-api-documentation) Open the selected API product, confirm whether the operation requires MarketID, InternationalMarketID, or StockSymbol, and then copy the matching value from this reference.
