Alpha Vantage error when symbol has digits

I'm trying to get quotes for an Australian stock with ticker A200.AX (aka A200.AUS) from Alpha Vantage.

I have no issues getting other symbols from the AX market, e.g.:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=ETHI.AUS&apikey=demo
...returns data as expected

However when a symbol has digit(s) in it, it seems to return an error:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=A200.AUS&apikey=demo
Invalid API call. Please retry or visit the documentation (https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation/) for TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY.
Same result for F100.AUS

I checked to make sure the ticker was valid: A200.AUS shows up if I search for it:
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=SYMBOL_SEARCH&keywords=A200.AUS&apikey=demo

I'm aware of some questions related to URL encoding, but I can't see any URL special characters in A200.AUS . Besides, using the search endpoint works with the ticker passed on literally. Does anyone know how to download this stock's information or what I'm doing wrong?

Your use of the search endpoint is great, however A200.AUS is an ETF. Alpha Vantage has some ETFs, but currently, only 100% supports stocks.
