Barchart Feed Java API
Barchart Feed is a high-performance, memory-efficient feed API for Java applications that need access to realtime financial market data. It provides a simple way to integrate quote data into any desktop or server application, from back office risk management solutions to desktop trading products. Barchart Feed is the quick and easy way to leverage the power of realtime trade data from major exchanges all over the world.
Simple and Fast
Using Barchart Feed, you can easily subscribe to only the markets and events your application is interested in. Only looking for CME corn trades? No problem. Need notifications whenever the book updates for GOOG? We've got you covered. Looking to process the entire feed for pattern analysis? You can do that too. Market state is maintained for you, so you don't need to worry about complicated feed processing logic, and can focus on your own features.
Free and Open
Barchart feed APIs are open and free to use in any application. With Barchart Feed built into your application, you won't need to worry about exchange compliance or other red tape involved in handling data feeds. All your users need to do is sign up for a Barchart account, and they'll have immediate access the data they need.
