Documentation for our legacy realtime client

Requirements

• .NET 6+

Docker

Add your API key to the config.json file in IntrinioRealTimeSDK, then

docker compose build
docker compose run example

Installation

Go to Release, download the DLLs, reference it in your project. The DLLs contains dependencies necessary to the SDK.

Sample Project

For a sample .NET project see: intrinio-realtime-dotnet-sdk Be sure to update config.json

Features

• Receive streaming, real-time price quotes (last trade, bid, ask)
• Subscribe to updates from individual securities
• Subscribe to updates for all securities

Example Usage

static void Main(string[] _)
{
	Client.Log("Starting sample app");
	client = new Client(OnTrade, OnQuote);
	timer = new Timer(TimerCallback, client, 10000, 10000);
	client.Join(); //Load symbols from config.json
	//client.Join(new string[] { "AAPL", "GOOG", "MSFT" }, false); //Specify symbols at runtime
	Console.CancelKeyPress += new ConsoleCancelEventHandler(Cancel);
}

Handling Quotes

There are thousands of securities, each with their own feed of activity. We highly encourage you to make your trade and quote handlers has short as possible and follow a queue pattern so your app can handle the volume of activity.

API Keys

You will receive your Intrinio API Key after creating an account. You will need a subscription to a realtime data feed as well.

Methods

Client client = new Client(OnTrade, OnQuote); - Creates a new instance of the Intrinio Real-Time client. The provided actions implement OnTrade and OnQuote, which handle what happens when the associated event happens.

• Parameter onTrade: The Action accepting trades. This function will be invoked when a 'trade' has been received. The trade will be passed as an argument to the callback.
• Parameter onQuote: Optional. The Action accepting quotes. This function will be invoked when a 'quote' has been received. The quote will be passed as an argument to the callback. If 'onQuote' is not provided, the client will NOT request to receive quote updates from the server.

client.Join(symbols, tradesOnly); - Joins the given channels. This can be called at any time. The client will automatically register joined channels and establish the proper subscriptions with the WebSocket connection. If no arguments are provided, this function joins channel(s) configured in config.json.

• Parameter symbols - Optional. A string representing a single ticker symbol (e.g. "AAPL") or an array of ticker symbols (e.g. ["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOG"]) to join. You can also use the special symbol, "lobby" to join the firehose channel and recieved updates for all ticker symbols. You must have a valid "firehose" subscription.
• Parameter tradesOnly - Optional (default: false). A boolean value indicating whether the server should return trade data only (as opposed to trade and quote data).

client.Join(["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOG"])
client.Join("GE", true)
client.Join("lobby") //must have a valid 'firehose' subscription

client.Leave(symbols) - Leaves the given channels.

• Parameter symbols - Optional (default = all channels). A string representing a single ticker symbol (e.g. "AAPL") or an array of ticker symbols (e.g. ["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOG"]) to leave. If not provided, all subscribed channels will be unsubscribed.

client.Leave(["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOG"])
client.Leave("GE")
client.Leave("lobby")
client.Leave()

client.Stop() - Closes the WebSocket, stops the self-healing and heartbeat intervals. Call this to properly dispose of the client.

Configuration

config.json

config.json The application will look for the config file if you don't pass in a config object.

{
	"Config": {
		"ApiKey": "", //Your Intrinio API key.
		"NumThreads": 2, //The number of threads to use for processing events.
		"Provider": "REALTIME", //or DELAYED_SIP or NASDAQ_BASIC or MANUAL
		"Symbols": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOG" ], //This is a list of individual tickers to subscribe to, or "lobby" to subscribe to all at once (firehose).
		"TradesOnly": true //This indicates whether you only want trade events (true) or you want trade, ask, and bid events (false).
	},
	"Serilog": {
		"Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console", "Serilog.Sinks.File" ],
		"MinimumLevel": {
			"Default": "Information",
			"Override": {
				"Microsoft": "Warning",
				"System": "Warning"
			}
		},
		"WriteTo": [
			{ "Name": "Console" }
		]
	}
}

To create a config object to pass in instead of the file, do the following. Don't forget to also set up sirilog configuration as well:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.Console(restrictedToMinimumLevel: Serilog.Events.LogEventLevel.Information).CreateLogger();
Config.Config config = new Config.Config();
config.Provider = Provider.REALTIME;
config.ApiKey = "";
config.Symbols = new[] { "AAPL", "MSFT" };
config.NumThreads = 2;
client = new Client(onTrade, onQuote, config);

Example Replay Client Usage

static void Main(string[] _)
{
	Client.Log("Starting sample app");
	//You can also simulate a trading day by replaying a particular day's data. You can do this with the actual time between events, or without.
	DateTime yesterday = DateTime.Today - TimeSpan.FromDays(1);
	replayClient = new ReplayClient(onTrade, onQuote, yesterday, true, true); //A client to replay a previous day's data
	timer = new Timer(ReplayTimerCallback, replayClient, 10000, 10000);
	replayClient.Join(); //Load symbols from your config or config.json
	//client.Join(new string[] { "AAPL", "GOOG", "MSFT" }, false); //Specify symbols at runtime
	Console.CancelKeyPress += new ConsoleCancelEventHandler(Cancel);
}

Example Candlestick Client Usage

static void Main(string[] _)
{
	Client.Log("Starting sample app");
	Action<Trade> onTrade = OnTrade;
	Action<Quote> onQuote = OnQuote;
	
	//Subscribe the candlestick client to trade and/or quote events as well.  It's important any method subscribed this way handles exceptions so as to not cause issues for other subscribers!
	_useTradeCandleSticks = true;
	_useQuoteCandleSticks = true;
	_candleStickClient = new CandleStickClient(OnTradeCandleStick, OnQuoteCandleStick, IntervalType.OneMinute, true, null, null, 0);
	onTrade += _candleStickClient.OnTrade;
	onQuote += _candleStickClient.OnQuote;
	_candleStickClient.Start();
	
	client = new Client(onTrade, onQuote);
	timer = new Timer(TimerCallback, client, 10000, 10000);
	client.Join(); //Load symbols from your config or config.json
	//client.Join(new string[] { "AAPL", "GOOG", "MSFT" }, false); //Specify symbols at runtime
			
	Console.CancelKeyPress += new ConsoleCancelEventHandler(Cancel);
}
