# Which broker APIs stream prices? Independent and unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any broker or platform named here. Educational only: nothing here is advice, and nothing here recommends a broker or a trade. This is the markdown version of https://openbrokerapi.com/answers/streaming, written from the same records as that page. Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders. Streaming pushes each price to you over a connection that stays open. Providers do it over a WebSocket, over a long lived HTTP connection or through a streaming service with its own client library. - Newest check: 2026-10-12 Rows are in name order. The order is not a ranking and nothing here recommends a broker. Not recorded here means this site holds no record to answer from. It does not mean the broker or platform lacks it. ## How each answer is built The answer is the record's own sentence about streaming, cut at the end of a sentence. The protocol is whatever that sentence names. The Yes, No or Partial beside it is a separate reading of that sentence, entered in the capability facts register only where its words settle it. Yes means the record describes streaming of some kind: whether it names prices is on the capability's page, beside the reason. 24 of the 29 records below can answer this question. 3 of those answers rest on a record labelled unverified, 0 rest on sources that conflict, and 5 records are shown as not recorded here. The state beside an answer is the cell the capability grid (https://openbrokerapi.com/capabilities) computes for the same record: [Streaming](https://openbrokerapi.com/capabilities/streaming). It is a separate reading of the record, decided by the rule on its own page. ## Brokers ### Axi Not recorded here.
