Intrinio NodeJS SDK for Real-Time Stock Prices

Intrinio NodeJS SDK for Real-Time Stock Prices

Intrinio provides real-time stock prices from the IEX stock exchange, via a two-way WebSocket connection. To get started, subscribe here and follow the instructions below.

Requirements

• NodeJS 6.9.5

Features

• Receive streaming, real-time price quotes from the IEX stock exchange
  • Bid, ask, and last price
  • Order size
  • Order execution timestamp
• Subscribe to updates from individual securities
• Subscribe to updates for all securities (contact us for special access)

Installation

npm install intrinio-realtime --save

Example Usage

var IntrinioRealtime = require('intrinio-realtime')

// Create an IntrinioRealtime instance
var ir = new IntrinioRealtime({
  username: "INTRINIO_API_USERNAME",
  password: "INTRINIO_API_PASSWORD",
})

// Listen for quotes
ir.onQuote(quote => {
  var { ticker, type, price, size, timestamp } = quote
  console.log("QUOTE: ", ticker, type, price, size, timestamp)
})

// Join channels
ir.join("AAPL", "MSFT", "GE")

Channels

To receive price quotes from the Intrinio Real-Time API, you need to instruct the client to "join" a channel. A channel can be

• A security ticker (AAPL, MSFT, GE, etc)
• The security lobby ($lobby) where all price quotes for all securities are posted
• The security last price lobby ($lobby_last_price) where only last price quotes for all securities are posted

Special access is required for both lobby channeles. Contact us for more information.

API Keys

You will receive your Intrinio API Username and Password after creating an account. You will need a subscription to the IEX Real-Time Stock Prices data feed as well.
