Question 1

How long does it typically take to develop a custom API endpoint?

Accepted Answer

Usually, it takes between 2 to 6 weeks to add a new project to our schedule, depending on the current project backlog. After your project has been added to our calendar, the actual development time will depend on the complexity of the requirements. We typically divide large projects into 1-2 week milestones to allow for rapid delivery.

Question 2

What is the pricing structure for custom development?

Accepted Answer

Most of our custom API endpoints come with a $50 per hour one-time development fee, with no ongoing fees other than a standard Market Data subscription . We would typically support your new endpoint as part of your Market Data subscription as well, meaning there are no ongoing fees for support or hosting either.

Question 3

What types of data can I get through a custom API?

Accepted Answer

We collaborate with you to create an API that addresses your specific needs. From basic market data like stock quotes and options chains, to in-depth fundamental and technical analysis, we've got you covered. Our in-house experts in quantitative finance enable us to deliver advanced statistical analyses, time-series data, and other quant-specific metrics, all custom-built to align with your requirements.

Question 4

How is the endpoint secured?

Accepted Answer

Your Market Data token will give you secure access to your custom endpoint, the same way you access all other endpoints. Market Data takes responsibility for the security of your endpoint.

Question 5

Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Once we've developed your custom API, our commitment to you continues. Our team provides ongoing support at no additional monthly charge. If you encounter any issues, you can count on us for consistent and reliable service.

Question 6

Do you work with international clients?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. We work with clients from around the globe. However, it's important to note that our primary focus is on U.S. markets. If your custom API requirements involve sourcing data from foreign markets, the pricing structure will include a monthly charge instead of being a one-time fee.

Question 7

Can I upgrade or modify my custom API later?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. We offer flexible options for upgrading or modifying your custom API to meet your evolving needs. However, it's important to note that upgrades or modifications are typically feasible as long as the changes introduced are non-breaking or optional for existing functionality.

Question 8

Is my API endpoint exclusive to me or is it available to other Market Data users?

Accepted Answer

While your data will remain private and secure, the API endpoint itself will be available to other Market Data users. By adding new APIs to our base product, we continually improve the service and are able to offer custom development at a much lower cost. If the endpoint were exclusive to you, the hourly cost would be many times more expensive. We are not interested in taking on projects where the use of the endpoints must be exclusive to you or your organization.

Question 9

Do you offer custom solutions for markets other than financial markets?

Accepted Answer

No, our focus is solely on the financial markets.

Question 10

Do you offer custom front-end development, or can you integrate with existing front-ends?

Accepted Answer

While we do not offer custom front-end development, we can perform work to integrate our API endpoints into existing front-end charting libraries, frameworks, or interfaces.
