Author	Topic: DTN Data Feed API (14 messages, Page 1 of 1)
tradedyn -Interested User- Posts: 3 Joined: Oct 22, 2004	Posted: Oct 26, 2004 01:45 PM Msg. 1 of 14 I would like to use the DTN 1300 symbol data feed in conjunction with a trading app. If I wanted to "suck in" the DTN stream, would I buy the Specifications on the IQ Feed site and develop using those specs? (My understanding is that the DTN datafeed is the same as the IQFeed data feed). Is there any best practices document for integration of the DTN feed with a Java (J2EE) application or SDK for the DTN product?

We do have a Java Example with source code available to see how one would access our APIs through Java. Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access

Also, ample technical details about the APIs and their functionality. Lastly, if you have any development questions, we provide three different channels for developer support.

Java is very much the poor cousin to the other programming languages. We are using java with streaming information only (socket connection) and have overcome a few hurdles but it is now basically working. The problems we are still having would be common to all languages. There are very few java examples provided but these don't cover all DLL calls and, unfortunately some of the references to the DLL objects are incorrect. Clearly no-one at IQFeed has actually tested all calls. We examined the DLLs with depends.exe (provided by microsoft) to determine the correct references. I have no experience in retrieving historical data using Java. Hope this helps. Dennis

Then we can confirm the discrepency and correct it. We want our documentation to be as accurate as possible. Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access

I reported one in June last year http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/Index.cfm?CFApp=2&Message_ID=1000 It is still wrong in 2.3.0.1
