They will usually scrape various exchange APIs/websites for tickers and names.

Thanks. That is how I have been going about it but it's quite time consuming. Maybe that's why they charge for the data afterwards.

I am to a point. each exchange API has different keys and such. I may just stick to using the 5 or 6 high volume exchanges, it'll be relatively accurate.
