I want to use the IB Api, but cannot figure our how the request a complete symbol list and information.
In the Documentation i found: reqScannerParameters() - but it is not clear how to get a list for example of nasdaq stocks ?
Is there a better way ?

Valuation metrics show that Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. may be overvalued. Its Value Score of D indicates it would be a bad pick for value investors. The financial health and growth prospects of IBKR, demonstrate its potential to underperform the market.
As far as I am aware IB does not offer a symbol list. But the good news is it is easy and free to get elsewhere. Eoddata.com is a good source of it and you can download them, or automate it rather easily.
Go here and just click the download link at the top right of the table: EodData Symbol List
Not sure what language your using for the IB API but I have simple tutorial in C# that covers reading the tickers for stocks and options on my website: Get Real-Time Stock Data from the Interactive Brokers API

It is fairly easy to implement a piece of code scraping all stocks symbol from IB's website.
NYSE stocks are available from IB website
Just replace 'nyse' with another exchange's name like nasdaq or amex.
