The QuantHouse API Ecosystem

The ecosystem aims to provide a framework where capital market participants can access trading venues, technologies or applications. This is provided through APIs. The ecosystem community consists of buy- and sell-side participants, exchanges, prime brokers, trading venues and a range of other financial institutions.

Earlier this year, Finance Magnates reported that CMC Markets had added its offering to the QuantHouse API Ecosystem. This opened access to the independent global provider’s market data feeds and enabled trading via its APIs.
