## Examples

### Look up all broker IDs

```bash
longbridge participants
longbridge participants --format json
```

Returns the full directory of HK exchange participants, each with their broker ID(s) and firm name. Some firms have multiple broker IDs listed together in a single `broker_id` string.

## Notes

HK market only. Use in conjunction with `longbridge brokers` to identify which firms are placing orders at each price level. The `broker_id` values here correspond directly to the IDs returned by the `brokers` command.
