Why one API instead of stitching several vendors together
The real cost of multiple vendors sits in field alignment, auth, billing and troubleshooting.
| Dimension | TIQEX | Stitching multiple vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Asset classes | 7 classes, one API | A separate integration per class |
| Data shape | The same JSON for every market | Different fields and timestamp conventions |
| Streaming | Native WebSocket, pushes not billed per message | Polling only, or billed per message |
| History | Tick-level history, ready for backtests | Buy separately or record it yourself |
| Free tier | Permanent free tier, key on sign-up | Usually requires talking to sales |
| Payment | Card and bank transfer for enterprise customers | Multiple contracts and invoices |

Frequently asked questions
Can I try before paying?
Yes. Free is permanent and includes realtime crypto — no credit card required. Upgrade to unlock US stocks, indices, metals, FX and WebSocket streaming.
What happens if I exceed my quota?
REST calls count toward daily quota and per-minute limits. Live data should use WebSocket (not metered per tick). REST returns 429 when limits are hit; upgrade if you need more.
Does WebSocket count against REST quota?
The stream handshake counts toward daily quota and RPM; subsequent tick pushes are not metered per message. Prefer WebSocket for production live feeds.
Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?
Yes. Upgrades apply immediately with prorated charges; downgrades usually take effect after the current billing period—see console billing notes.
How do invoices and bank transfer work?
Paid plans can issue invoices; enterprise customers may pay by bank transfer. Enterprise deals include contract terms.

All postsThree Clocks in Every Tick: Timestamp Provenance and Clock Skew
Age mixes network transit with your own clock offset, and one sample cannot separate them. This post bounds the offset with the lowest age in a window, catches a clock step by comparing wall against monotonic time, and marks the cases where the measurement is not worth its sampling budget.
Partial Subscriptions: The Batch Tail Is Where Resubscribes Fail
A resubscribe is confirmed one batch at a time. Counting confirmations proves only that something came back; comparing the confirmed set against the requested set is the only check that proves everything did — and the batch tail is where the loss hides.
