Polygon.io: get the industry and sector for a ticker

Question

I'm new to using the polygon.io api polygon. I've figured out most of what I need but I am stumped at retrieving sector and industry for a ticker. There are examples on the web of using get_ticker_details, but I can not repeat their result. Even if I use the demo on polygon.io's website it doesn't return industry and sector. Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

I tried the following

client = Utils.getClient(api key)

tmp1 = client.get_ticker_details('AA')
tmp2 = client.get_ticker_details('AAPL')

These called returned a wealth of data but that did not include industry and sector.

Answer 1

The Ticker Details Endpoint returns the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for each ticker. These codes can be mapped to their definition/sector from the SEC's sic code list.
