Integrate real-time, delayed, and historical market data into third-party applications with technology managed and hosted by Barchart. Market data is fed directly to the client/end-user applications with Barchart as the vendor of record. Barchart's Market Data Feeds are used by companies in finance, commodities, agricultural, energy and media. They are compatible with many independent software vendors (ISVs) offering trading, charting, and financial analysis applications and websites, as well as back-office systems for portfolio valuation, risk management and accounting. Users can choose from .NET or Java API, complete with code samples, documentation, and specialized tech support—or develop their own API. Market data is sourced directly from each exchange, consolidated and compressed into proprietary format—then delivered utilizing TCP or UDP transfer protocols directly from Barchart's servers to the end-user. In addition, Barchart can host user registration, billing, subscriber agreements, exchange reporting and market data related support.
