Real Time Finance
Websocket API to access realtime stock data.
About Real Time Finance
Real Time Finance is a public WebSocket API that provides real-time financial market data, including stock prices and forex quotations. It covers Forex markets and roughly 10,000 US and European stocks across exchanges including EURONEXT, NASDAQ, and NYSE.
Data is accessed via a command-line tool (rtf) using binaries available for Unix, macOS, and Windows, downloaded from the project's GitHub releases page. Users subscribe to specific market and stock symbol pairs (for example, NASDAQ/NFLX or FX/EURUSD) and receive streaming output containing price, volume, timestamp, symbol, and market fields.
The API is intended for developers building applications that require live stock and forex pricing data, such as trading tools, dashboards, or financial data integrations.
