About the Market Data API Developer Guide
Maintained by the AllTick developer relations and engineering team. Designed to help developers, quant engineers, and fintech startups integrate global market data rapidly, securely, and reliably.
Product-confirmed figures. Verify the applicable plan, asset coverage, measurement environment, and current contract before making a production commitment.
This guide is operated by the AllTick Developer Relations & Engineering team. Examples are reviewed against the linked public specifications. Each technical article now states its source-review date, static checks, production edge cases, and whether authenticated execution was performed.
Clear Boundary: Account registration, token generation, paid tier subscriptions, and secret management occur strictly on the official AllTick portal (alltick.co). This documentation portal neither stores tokens nor handles billing.
Core Technical Sections
Data Selection Matrix
Compare update intervals, protocol fit, quota consumption, and licensing rules across FX, HK/US stocks, indices, and commodities.
Production Integration Guides
Ready-to-run Python examples with auto-reconnection, heartbeat ping/pong, symbol multiplexing, and local persistence.
In-Depth Troubleshooting
Diagnostic procedures for 401 unauthorized, 429 rate limits, silent WebSocket connections, and daylight saving conversions.
Editorial & Engineering Standards
Disclosed Verification Scope
Python syntax is parsed and specifications are reviewed. Authenticated network execution is claimed only when an article records the environment and result.
Credential Isolation & Security
Code examples strictly inject credentials via environment variables or placeholders. Never embed hardcoded tokens.
Date-Stamped Specification Review
Articles link to the relevant API or exchange source and publish the review date so readers can repeat checks after a specification change.
Objective Infrastructure Focus
Strictly focused on market data ingestion and network protocol engineering. We provide zero investment advice or trading signals.
