RESTful http api for stock price

in DSS

Hi,

I am looking for a straight forward way to retrieve up to date / ideally real time stock prices. I thought the DSS api might be a fit. My questions.

- Is that in fact the best api for this purpose?

- How can I get the credentials necessary to request the api token?

Adding the API in my account seemed to not be working (screenshot attached), as no options loaded (tried in several browsers).

Thanks and regards

    To answer your 2 queries:

    DSS can deliver intraday data, but not real time data. For real time data, use the TREP, Elektron or Eikon APIs. Note: exchanges charge for real-time data, it has a cost.

    DSS credentials: we do not deliver keys for DSS through the portal. But we can provide a free trial for certain period of time. That needs to go through our account teams first. If you can provide more information on the company you work for and where your location is, we can try to redirect you to our sales/account team in that region to get this process started.

    Hope this helps.
