If you've wanted to add real-time stock quotes
to your public website, but just couldn't justify the
cost, you'll want to learn more about BATS. No, not the
baseball equipment or the "rats with wings."
The

target="_blank">BATS
stock exchange.
As it happens, BATS is the title="BATS 3rd Largest Press Release"
rel="nofollow"
href="http://www.batstrading.com/resources/press_releases/BATSExchange3rdLargestFINAL.pdf"
target="_blank">third largest stock exchange in the
world, covering 8,000 securities and processing over 10% of U.S.
trades. Stock for most public companies are traded on BATS
regardless of the exchange that lists them.
BATS has very web-friendly licensing terms for public
display of its stock quote data, and we've just
recently launched two new web services for getting stock quotes
from BATS:
href="http://www.xignite.com/xBatsRealTime.asmx"
target="_blank">XigniteBATSRealTime
and title="Xignite BATS Last Sale"
href="http://www.xignite.com/xBatsLastSale.asmx"
target="_blank">XigniteBATSLastSale. Websites can
publish BATS stock quotes without needing to sign exchange
agreements that tie them to per-user or per-hit fees.

BATS has
made adding stock quotes to web sites easy and
affordable
We originally launched
XigniteBATSLastSale to give our customers
href="http://www.xignite.com/xBatsLastSale.asmx"
target="_self">real-time
quotes from BATS-traded
securities.
More recently we've launched
XigniteBATSRealTime for customers with heavier usage
requirements. In XigniteBATSRealTime, we've added data
that's more important for intraday traders, such as
href="http://www.xignite.com/xBatsRealTime.asmx"
target="_self">tick-by-tick quotes and bid and ask
prices.
So, if you've been
waiting for real-time stock quotes to become more economical for
public display on websites, it's time to take another
look at your options.
