You can get a list of tickers for free using Finnhub's API.

You just need to request a free API key.

Check out the following documentation: https://finnhub.io/docs/api#stock-symbols

#pip install finnhub-python
import pandas as pd
import finnhub

#list of available exchanges

df=pd.read_html("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I3pBxjfXB056-g_JYf_6o3Rns3BV2kMGG1nCatb91ls/edit#gid=0")
df1=df[0]
exc=df1.loc[:,"A"].dropna()

exclist=[]
for i in exc:
    exclist.append(str(i))
exclist=exclist[1:] #take out "name" from the list

#retrieve tickers from every exchange available
tickers=[]
finnhub_client = finnhub.Client(api_key="c46qn9iad3iagvmhdk7g")
for exchange in exclist:
    listofdicts=finnhub_client.stock_symbols(exchange)
    for dicts in listofdicts:
        tickers.append(dicts['symbol'])

print("You just got a list of %s tickers worldwide." % len(tickers), tickers)
