Does IB charge fees for using their API to pull quotes?

    Over the past week, I have been unable to pull EOD stock / ETF data using my current method. Although there seems to be a solution for that issue, since Yahoo apparently has nothing to gain by hosting free data, I suspect that I may need to look for a new data source in the future. I have looked into the IB Java API, but have not implemented anything with it yet. I trade IB and have stock / ETF streaming data subscription. Can I access that using their API or are there additional charges that I would have to pay to use it? I'd only use it to pull the last day or two EOD / OHLC data on about 500 stocks / ETFs every week night.

    Thanks for letting me know about that. Looks like the proposal only affects real-time data and I'm fine with using delayed anyway (I currently get my EOD bars from Yahoo).
