Broker APIs with streaming

Streaming pushes each price or account update to you over a connection that stays open, so a program does not have to ask again and again. Providers do it over different protocols.

Independent and unofficialNewest check 12 Oct 2026

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.

Not recorded means this site holds no record. It does not mean the broker or platform lacks it. Rows are in name order, the order is not a ranking, and nothing here recommends a broker.

How each row is decided

Each record holds a sentence about streaming, not a yes or no field. A person read each sentence and entered yes, partial or no in the capability facts register only where the sentence's own words settle it. Yes means the record describes a connection that pushes data to you. It does not by itself say what is pushed: each row also says whether the record names prices, account updates, both or neither, and where an endpoint or error record names one, that record is cited. Partial means streaming on one route and not another. The status, the source and the date are the sentence's own. A sentence that settles nothing stays at not recorded.

Yes: A record on this site says so: a structured field, a record that exists, or a sentence in a record that was read and entered in the capability facts register, with the reason printed beside it. 17 of the 29 rows below.
Partial: A sentence in a record gives part of it: one route and not another, or a demo of the platform and not of the API. The reading is a row of the capability facts register, and the reason and the scope are printed beside it. 3 of the 29 rows below.
No: A record on this site says no: a structured field set to false, or a sentence in a record that says so, read and entered in the capability facts register. 1 of the 29 rows below.
Not recorded: This site holds no yes or no for it. That is a gap in this dataset. It is not a statement that the broker or platform lacks the capability. 8 of the 29 rows below.

3 of the rows rest on a record that is labelled unverified. Each says so beside its source.
