We are trying to establish a live link that will help us to retrieve TBA pricing by using MS SQLS 2014. There is a report built in SSRS on our side that requires live pricing feed. What is the most efficient way of solving this?
Hi @andrey.zhdanov,
If I understand well, you would like to feed your MS SQLdatabase with TBA prices retrieved from Eikon and then use SSRS (SQL ServerReporting Services) to build reports from the data you captured in the database.
I don’t think the Eikon Scripting API is appropriate for thisuse case. Indeed, from a contractual point of view, the data retrieved via Eikonis intended for a single user and should not be redistributed via a database.
The Elektron platform and APIs Zoya mentioned above areprobably more appropriate for your use case. In order to feed your database youwill have to build an application that consumes Elektron real time data and populatesyour database with it. To consume the data, the application will have to use one of ElektronAPIs (EMA or ETA) that are available for the C, C++ and Java programminglanguages.
Hello @andrey.zhdanov,
Sounds like what you are researching a price feed to meet your realtime data requirements and an API to subscribe to it.
Elektron is a price feed that allows to subscribe to various pricing from around the world, and is part of Elektron Platform, for additional info:
Elektron
On TR developers portal there is info about Elektron suite of APIs,
Elektron Message API (EMA) in C++ or Java is a high level API that is strategic, straightforward to learn and use, and an efficient way to reach your goal of subscribing to realtime data, that you can store for future retrieval using MS SQL Server.
Thank you all very much for clarifying the matter.
