I am wondering what retail choices there currently are of data providers that offer access to global exchanges, not just futures but futures, stocks, options, and spot currencies and also provide access via API. I currently use Reuters Eikon and despite the quality of data to be pretty high the service in the support department and especially their API technology stack has been gotten so bad recently that I am considering switching service providers. But it is very hard to come by a decent data provider. IB : Out of question as they do not provide a raw data feed and their historical data repository is extremely limited Esignal: Out of question as they abandoned their API for whatever weird, inconceivable reason. IqFeed: Out of question as their exchange coverage is extremely limited and is very US centric. They do not offer Hong Kong, Korea, Tokyo/Osaka,... CQG: Out of question, their historical data API access is ridiculously priced if their information on their website is correct. $1000 dollars per month for 20 days worth of times and sales? Are they nuts? Barchart: Out of question, their exchange coverage is US and Canada only, apparently. TT Tech: Out of question as their main focus is futures and they seem way overpriced in regards to what they offer. Anyone with any recommendation? I consider data providers that are headquartered in the US/Canada, Europe, or Asia... Thanks
Thanks but I need a full API stack (either .Net, Java, C++, C, Python,...), not Excel or software package support.
That seems at the moment to be the only viable alternative. By the way, I just chatted with Money.Net support, they do provide a simplistic web API. I stand corrected in that regards. Its obviously at the moment still a product that offers a fraction of Eikon's or BBG's features but also only costs a fraction of the price of the named 2 competitors. Thanks
The funny part is that I know the exact company you need, but you've been such as arse in the past you can find it yourself. Don't you just love karma.
Like any service of its ilk, its going to stay "at the moment" forever. Seriously, you're dreaming if you're think you're going to find a Bloomberg or Reuters quality product for a fraction of the cost, ESPECIALLY if you're demanding "extensive global coverage".
I don't need a product that offers all the features that bbg or Reuters offers. I need extensive exchange data coverage of multiple assets classes. No options pricers needed, don't need to model prepayment models, I derive news elsewhere,.. Just a pure market data product.
I truly hope you can move on at some point, holding past grudges is not healthy. I don't even remember your userid.
