This may be old  but    if you change the link in google stock list as below   https   www google com finance q  5B exchange 20 3D 3D 20 22NASDAQ 22  5D amp restype company amp noIL 1 amp num 30000   note for the noIL 1 amp num 30000   It means  starting for row 1 to 30000   It shows all results in one page   You may automate it using any language or just export the table to excel   Hope it helps

Exchanges will usually publish an up-to-date list of securities on their web pages   For example  these pages offer CSV downloads    http   www nasdaq com screening companies-by-industry aspx exchange NASDAQ amp render download http   www nasdaq com screening companies-by-industry aspx exchange NYSE amp render download http   www asx com au asx research ASXListedCompanies csv   NASDAQ Updated their site  so you will have to modify the URLS   NASDAQ   https   old nasdaq com screening companies-by-name aspx letter 0 amp exchange nasdaq amp render download   AMEX   https   old nasdaq com screening companies-by-name aspx letter 0 amp exchange amex amp render download   NYSE   https   old nasdaq com screening companies-by-name aspx letter 0 amp exchange nyse amp render download   Depending on your requirement  you could create the map of these URLs by exchange in your own code

There does not seem to be a straight-forward way provided by Google or Yahoo finance portals to download the full list of tickers  One possible  brute force  way to get it is to query their APIs for every possible combinations of letters and save only those that return valid results  As silly as it may seem there are people who actually do it  ie  check this  http   investexcel net all-yahoo-finance-stock-tickers     You can download lists of symbols from exchanges directly or 3rd party websites as suggested by  Eugene S and  Capn Sparrow  however if you intend to use it to fetch data from Google or Yahoo  you have to sometimes use prefixes or suffixes to make sure that you re getting the correct data  This is because some symbols may repeat between exchanges  so Google and Yahoo prepend or append exchange codes to the tickers in order to distinguish between them  Here s an example   Company   Vodafone ------------------ LSE symbol     VOD  in Google     LON VOD  in Yahoo      VOD L NASDAQ symbol  VOD  in Google     NASDAQ VOD  in Yahoo      VOD
