CloudStreaming Overview

Streaming Real-Time Market Data APIs

These APIs stream financial market data directly to end-user devices such as mobile and web apps. Xignite CloudStreaming is a zero-footprint solution that leverages the Xignite Market Data Cloud’s high-performance and scalable streaming infrastructure. By using HTML5 standards, it eliminates the need for streaming application software and the need to build and maintain a large “fanout” infrastructure for distribution of real-time data to every end-user’s device. With Xignite CloudStreaming, you can easily stream financial market data directly to millions of end-users with just a few lines of code.
