Financial Data Access Methods
Intrinio offers multiple access methods to help you easily retrieve real-time, delayed, end of day, or historical financial data.
Web API
Built for: developers
Use if: you need to pull market data or fundamental data programmatically
Works with: all data feeds
Our Web API is ideal for intraday, delayed, or EOD market data, or for users who need to pull real-time prices at specific times, but not all day. It’s also our primary method for delivering standardized or as-reported fundamental data.
The Intrinio API uses HTTPS verbs and a RESTful endpoint structure. Basic Authentication is administered over HTTPS. Responses are delivered in JSON format. We also offer fully supported SDKs in six languages.
Websocket API
Built for: developers
Use if: you need to stream the price of a security all day
Works with: real-time market data
The WebSocket API streams the real-time price of a security continuously. You can connect to a single stock or multiple stocks concurrently and always be looking at the true real-time price.
WebSocket APIs are priced by concurrent connections. If your plan allows for 10 concurrent connections, you can stream the real-time prices for up to 10 stocks simultaneously. A plan with 1,000 total daily connections would allow you to connect up to 1,000 different securities in a day, changing them as needed.
Direct Database Access
Built for: everyone
Use if: you need to sort through massive amounts of data quickly
Works with: most data feeds
We’ve partnered with Snowflake to bring you direct database access. This method allows you to scan terabytes of data to find exactly what you’re looking for within seconds by writing simple SQL queries.
Snowflake offers native and standards-based connections that enable developers to use a variety of languages and frameworks. Snowflake can even function as a traditional database – import your security master into it, join multiple datasets together, and run complicated queries.
Bulk File Downloads
Built for: everyone
Use if: you need large flat files of data
Works with: historical data
Our historical fundamentals and market data are available for download in comma-separated values (CSV) format. CSV downloads are ideal for users who need to download large amounts of data.
When you subscribe to Intrinio data, you will automatically receive access to any bulk download files that correspond to your subscription.
