Websocket API

API Description

Websocket API for Pricing Streaming and Real-Time Services

This API consists of a Protocol Specification and a set of Example programs used to illustrate the usage of the protocol to make websocket connections to Real-Time Distribution Systems* (RTDS), and, to Real-Time - Optimized (RTO - cloud solution) available via Delivery Platform (RDP - formerly known as Refinitiv Data Platform).

DOWNLOAD Websocket API Examples and Protocol Specification.

These examples** are built using widely available Websocket frameworks and follow the Protocol Specification to demonstrate how to set up a websocket connection and use JSON message constructs to request and receive the Real-Time content.

* Applications written to WebSocket API protocol specification can connect to Real-Time Distributions System (RTDS) version 3.2.1 (and higher) where this transport is enabled.

** These are meant to be examples for illustration purposes only and not production-ready code. Features such as item recovery, connection recovery, etc., must be built into the application.

More information about downloading: Please visit GitHub to download Examples with source code and Documentation. The protocol specification and examples are also available on GitHub.
There are two sets of examples:

Applications/Examples (illustrate connectivity directly to your infrastructure)
Applications/Examples/RDP (illustrates connectivity to cloud solution aka Real-Time - Optimized (RTO) via Delivery Platform (RDP - formerly known as Refinitiv Data Platform)).

Key features illustrated by examples include:

Standards-based, WebSocket protocol usage and JSON payload formats
Data consumption and posting (contribution)
Support of Real-Time open data models
Easy integration into multiple client technology standards e.g. Python, R, .Net etc
