End of Day API

Home  Previous  Next

The EOD Desktop API provides you with End-of-Day or Historical data and can be accessed directly from a 3rd party console.

The Infront End-of-Day service can be used by 3rd party server systems to request end-of-day prices from Infront for a specific set of instruments.

The server system first posts a request for data and then polls the Infront service for the response until it is ready.

 

In order to access the EOD Desktop API, you need access to the Infront Professional Terminal, the EOD module and the market data for the API request. The data returns formatted as JSON or XML. The Infront End-of-Day Web API documentation can be found here: https://eod.infrontservices.com/#documentation

 

Instruments are identified by using “Operating MIC”, “ISIN” and (optional) “currency”. Alternatively, instruments can be identified using the Infront “feed number” and “ticker code”. Be aware that instruments that are not found by Infront or that have multiple possible matches (ambiguous) will be marked in the result with an error code. The API is also case sensitive. For example, spelling “operating_mic” as “Operating_MIC” will not work.

 

The End-of-Day service is HTTP/REST based and uses JSON as data protocol. The server accepts four types of requests

 

End-of-Day - Service used to make a request for one or multiple instruments.

Historical - Service used to make a request for one or multiple instruments.

Instrument Search - Service used to get information about an instrument.

Accessible Markets - Service used to get information about accessible markets for a given user.

 

The following data can be retrieved with EOD API

EOD- Name, Previous close date, Previous close, Volume, Turnover, Bid, Ask, Currency.

Historical- Last, Volume, Turnover, Bid, Ask, Open, High, Low.

Instrument Search- Operating mic, ISIN, Feed, Instrument type, Feedname, Ticker, Name, Currency.

Accessible Markets- Operating mic, Feed, Feed code, Feed description.

 
 

To specify which market you are looking at, you can use one of the two options below.

 

“feed”- “18177”. The number is an internal feed number and varies depending on what feed you are requesting.

“operating_mic”. Operating mic is an ISO standard that can be found here. If you can’t find the operating mic in the list, you can find it in the

Infront Professional Terminal by adding the column “operating mic column” in a market window or watchlist.

 

In combination with one of the options above, you can find a specific instrument you need by using the ticker or ISIN. Example:

 

Instruments”: [

{

“feed”: “18177”,

“operating_mic”: “XOSL”,

“ticker”: “DNB”,

“isin”: “NO0010031479”

}

]

 

You can combine one (or more) of the green fields with one (or more) of the blue fields. Note that the Instrument search only uses “ISIN”,

but can be combined with “currency”.
