Python Network has added real-time stock and ETF price data from the five NYSE group exchanges to its Data Marketplace, giving financial applications a new channel of access to U.S. stock exchange prices.
In an announcement by Pyth Network dated November 11, the product is designated as NYSE Best Quote and Trades, or BQT. Applications can obtain the exchange data through Pyth, while access to it remains governed by NYSE market data policy and applicable agreements.
In its posts on X, the company Python presented itself as an accredited distributor of NYSE market data and stated that the launch consolidates its own information from all five venues into a single product.
“Our partnership with Pyth provides developers and organizations with a new way to access New York Stock Exchange data,” said Anthony Zavadzki, Head of Data and Digital Assets at the New York Stock Exchange.
The five exchanges include NYSE, NYSE American, NYSE Arca, NYSE National and NYSE Texas. According to the exchange’s technical specifications, BQT covers stocks and ETFs listed on NYSE, Nasdaq and Cboe venues.
Quote information includes the best available bid and ask prices as well as the number of shares available at those prices. Pyth’s posts indicate top-of-book coverage, meaning that at launch the full set of orders placed at different price levels is not provided.
NYSE publishes trade data, primary market closing prices, and trades recorded through the trade reporting system in its data feed. Consolidated volume comes from Securities Information Processor feeds, and status messages cover trading halts and resumptions, short sale restrictions, and trading session status.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) states that professional and retail users receive the same core information that it transmits to the securities information processor. The exchange describes BQT as an alternative real-time quote and trade reference for display users. It consolidates information from the five stock exchanges and is available through the global ICE network or authorized data vendors.
