List symbols GET

Use this endpoint to review defined currencies and units of exchange, or find symbols by schema. Supported filters: - `data.schema` — symbol schema - `meta.status` — record status - `meta.labels` — record labels - `meta.domain` — domain scope - `data.custom.<field>` — any custom field (may be slower on large datasets)

Update symbol PUT

The request must include the current record hash in `data.parent` to prevent conflicts from concurrent updates. If the parent hash does not match the record's current hash, the request is rejected with a 422 error. Broadcasts the `symbol-updated` signal. Use [effects](/ledger/reference/api/effect) to subscribe.
