How it works

1

Build company URL

Constructs the URL using the format https://www.use.or.ug/listed/{companyName}
2

Scrape company page

Loads and parses the HTML content from the company’s profile page
3

Extract details

Uses CSS selectors to extract specific company information from various div elements
4

Format response

Compiles all extracted data into an associative array and converts it to JSON
5

Return JSON

Returns the JSON-encoded company details with memory cleanup

​
Notes

  • The company name parameter should be the ticker symbol, not the full company name
  • Data is scraped in real-time from the USE website
  • Memory is explicitly cleared after parsing to optimize performance
  • The method relies on specific HTML structure and CSS classes from the USE website
