How can I get the full name for a stock Symbol through the API?

What API call should I make to get the full name for a RIC symbol?

For example, from an input of "AC", I would like to get a string of "Air Canada" in return.

I tried "Quotes -> RetrieveItem_3", and "Search2 -> SearchSingleItem_1", but neither of them seem to work.


Please let me know what call I should make, as well as its JSON endpoint. Thank you!
