Stock Quote Data from Exchanges Outside the
U.S.
We have 3 services offering stock quote
data from global exchanges around the world:
- Check out href="http://www.xignite.com/xGlobalRealTime.asmx"
target="_blank">XigniteGlobalRealTime for real-time
stock quote data
- Try href="http://www.xignite.com/xGlobalQuotes.asmx"
target="_blank">XigniteGlobalQuotes for less
expensive stock quote data on a 10 to 15 minute delay
- Or see href="http://www.xignite.com/xGlobalHistorical.asmx"
target="_blank">XigniteGlobalHistorical for
historical stock quote data instead of today's intraday
prices
Real-Time Stock Quote
Data
If you need real-time stock quote data
as fast as you can get it from the trading floor, you have 4
services to choose from:
- Check out
href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/NASDAQ-last-sale-stock-quote-data--20003006.html"
target="_blank">XigniteNASDAQLastSale for real-time
stock quote data from all major U.S. exchanges (not just NASDAQ).
You'll need to make sure you sign the appropriate agreements with
NASDAQ to get access to this data, but you'll rest assured you're
getting premium quality data directly from the major U.S. stock
exchanges.
- Try
href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/BATS-last-sale-quote-data--20003005.html"
target="_blank">XigniteBATSLastSale for real-time
stock quote data without having to worry about signing exchange
agreements. You'll get stock quote data straight from the rel="nofollow" href="http://www.batstrading.com/"
target="_blank">BATS stock exchange, one of the
newest and largest U.S. exchanges by volume.
- See
href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/BATS-real-time-stock-quote-data--20003004.html"
target="_blank">XigniteBATSRealTime for real-time
stock quote data with additional Level 1 data such as
tick-by-tick prices and bid/ask prices.
- Take
a look at href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/real-time-stock-quotes-data--20003003.html"
target="_blank">XigniteRealTime if you like the
depth of Level 1 data in XigniteBATSRealTime, but you'd like to
save a little money and you don't need to display the data
publicly-such as on a website. XigniteRealTime costs less than
XigniteBATSRealTime while still offering tick-by-tick and bid/ask
prices, but does not provide public display rights.
Budget Saving Delayed Stock Quote
Data
If you'd like real-time stock quote
data, but you'd like saving money even more, and you don't mind
if your stock quote data is based on delayed prices as of 10 to
15 minutes ago, then you should definitely check out the delayed
stock quote data service href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/delayed-stock-quote-data--20003007.html"
target="_blank">XigniteQuotes. It's a great budget
saving alternative to real-time stock quote data services for
those who don't truly need up-to-the-second accuracy in stock
quote prices.
Historical Stock Quote
Data
For years of historical stock quote data
such as past highs, lows, opens and closes, among other data,
take a look at href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/historical-stock-quote-data--20003008.html"
target="_blank">XigniteHistorical, which also
includes historical dividends, splits and top gainers, losers and
movers.
Charts Displaying Stock Quote
Data
Many of the stock quote data services
mentioned above already include charting features that will allow
you to get a graph of the underlying stock quote data available
in each service. But if you'd like more robust charting features
or you'd like to chart historical stock quote data or market
caps, then you'll want to take a look at href="http://www.xignite.com/stock-quote/standard-and-custom-historical-stock-chart--20003009.html"
target="_blank">XigniteChart.
