Real-Time Market Data APIs and Delivery Options
Not every application should consume market data the same way.
A REST API may be perfect for one workflow. A real-time stream may be essential for another. Some teams need alerts, some need Excel access, and others need bulk files for data warehouses, backtesting, or enterprise systems.
Choose the Right

Cloud Streaming
Stream real-time market data without building feed infrastructure.
For applications that need live updates, polling a REST API can create unnecessary cost, latency, and complexity. QUODD Cloud Streaming lets you stream real-time or delayed market data directly to servers, web applications, and mobile experiences.
Stream only the values that change, including quote and trade fields such as Open, High, Low, Close, Last, Bid, Ask, Volume, and other market events.
Use Cloud Streaming when you need to power live quotes, trading interfaces, financial media pages, investor portals, watchlists, charting tools, or market dashboards.
Cloud Alerts
Trigger market data alerts without constant polling.
Cloud Alerts helps you notify users when important market events happen, without building and maintaining your own monitoring infrastructure. Create real-time alerts for price movements, volume changes, 52-week high/low breakouts, and other event-based conditions.

Cloud Files
Deliver bulk market data where your systems need it.
Some workflows are not built around single API calls or real-time streams. Data warehouses, historical research environments, backtesting systems, and enterprise platforms often need structured files delivered on a schedule.
QUODD Cloud Files supports bulk delivery for large-scale financial datasets, including historical, end-of-day, reference, and other structured market data files.
Use Cloud Files when your team needs repeatable delivery into data lakes, cloud storage, databases, reporting systems, quant research environments, or internal applications.
