Speed Guide

Overview

The Speed Guide utility allows users and developers who do not have access to the Eikon/Refinitiv Workspace Desktop application to browse streaming content available from Refinitiv's Data Platform. Streaming content can be accessed within Real-Time -- Optimized service within the cloud or directly to your Real-Time services available within a deployed Real-Time Distribution System.

When building applications consuming streaming market data, developers often need a list of RICs (Reuters Instrument Codes) for certain market, exchange, or instrument types.  The list of fields provided for these instrument types will differ depending on the type of asset. To aid in the discovery and understanding of these assets, the Speed Guide utility is a graphical tool presenting data screen displays. These data screens, or speed guides, help users navigate through the universe of RICs and list the fields available for the specific asset. Developers will be presented with a simple organization of the data to gain a better understanding which includes complex structures such as Option Chains, Indices, Futures, etc.

The Speed Guide tool registers for Snapshot only data content (i.e, non-streaming).
