IQFeed Developer Support » getting stock symbols Mar 8, 2005 08:54 PM (Total replies: 3)

Hi Jay.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is it easy to switch the service to satellite broadcast, as that seems like a much better way to do things? Is it still the same kind of streaming interface, ie. instantiate an object to set a Watch on some particular symbols, and let it fire back messages whenever there are changes to the stock? If it does, that would be easy to put into my current design, which uses Visual Basic to create the IQFeedY object.

I'm not the one buying the service, it's for the person I'm building this application for, so I don't know the steps he took to set this up.

Also, you said the satellite broadcast has an SDK. Does that mean it exposes the source code, for me to link with my programming, or is it just an API, similar to the IQFeedY object?

Mike.

Hi All,

The API functions I see all deal with stock symbols as an input parameter. But what if I don't know the stock symbols, and I just want to get any stock symbols that meet a certain criteria, say Volume >= 300000? I know the documentation says that the data is not filtered. Does that mean, then, that I have to maintain my own database of all the stock symbols, and try them all with the IQFeedY object's WatchSymbol method, and try each stock symbol's data against the criteria?

Thanks.
Mike.
