"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam
"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

Jay, in a previous post you mentioned:

"The best way to get EOD data currently, would be to wait till the market closes, then run through a list of your symbols and pull a snap quote. This will give you the current open,high,low,last,volume. This would be much more efficient than pulling minute, tick or even daily data in many cases. The daily data sometimes isn't available until after 7m CST due to exchange adjustments to the data."

I've tried looking in the documentation and example but could not find anything that explains pulling up a snap quote. Can you please explain?

The only thing I can see is to recycle the symbol count limit (500 or 1300) for non satellite subscriptions by sending request-pairs of "w<A...>\n" and "r<symbol-A...>" for each symbol up to the limit?
