Market Connect Feed via API can be integrated within Customer applications through an Application Program Interface (API) library. The API library is provided for the most commonly used operating systems (Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, AIX) and for the main programming languages (Java on JVM 1.4.2 for all the above mentioned operating systems, C/C++, Visual Basic only for Windows). Thanks to its abundant set of libraries, the service is used for distribution via proprietary systems and is adopted for complex solutions such as:



IPOs

systems for the presentation of Stock Exchange data to customers in ‘push’ mode

organisation of web pages intended for a Bank’s internal or external use

financial technical analysis systems

proprietary and/or third party on-line trading systems

applications for bank branches

bank real-time electronic securities departments (borsini telematici).

Pluses


Efficiency

Market Connect Feed via API offers maximum transmission load optimisation on local network and/or geographical network, making available to users only the data of interest to them and, therefore, avoiding the transmission of unrequested content.


Customisation

Market Connect Feed offers the possibility to publish and distribute customised information, such as calculated data, internally produced news, instrument prices and quantities, as well as other standard contents.
