    Hi guys, new to the forums here and trying to get rolling again developing a market trending application. Does anyone know of a broker or quote service with an API that will fetch on OTC / Pinks? The only one I can find is OTCMarkets which charges a $250 a month premium for the service. I wrote a persistence app in java using Yahoo Finance’s API only to find out later Yahoos API won’t retrieve on the OTC markets. I use Scottrade and Zecco for brokers currently and unfortunately they offer no API.
     
  2. IB offers access to most of the pinks - most have markets made by Knight.
