The list endpoint returns all companies currently listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). You can paginate through results, narrow them to a specific sector, or search by company name or ticker symbol. Each company includes its current price, market capitalisation, trading volume, and percentage changes across multiple time frames. Sort and filter options let you rank companies by any of these fields. For example, to fetch the 25 largest Financial Services companies sorted by market cap: 
curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/companies?sector=Financial%20Services&limit=25&sort=market_cap&order=desc" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"
Use search instead of sector for partial-match lookups by ticker or name (search=DAN matches DANGCEM).
