However, you could potentially use this function:

sc.GetBasicSymbolData

And see if you get a nonzero last trade price for the symbol. This is a way to possibly see if the market is open for the symbol and indirectly indicate if it is valid. But it can take a few seconds to get a nonzero price initially after the symbol has just been subscribed to.
