Thomson Reuters Launches Open Source Market Data APIs
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New APIs provide developers with simplified access to Thomson Reuters Elektron,
with open-source distribution enabling the APIs to be extended to third-party
and proprietary content and systems
NEW YORK/LONDON, June 30, 2015 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, announced today the
introduction of the Elektron API family, a set of open-source Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) that simplify access to Thomson Reuters data feeds
and services, and help developers to innovate by creating their own customised
applications. The Elektron API family consists of a broad set of interfaces
ranging from low latency/high performance to simple content aware and web APIs.
End users of financial data are increasingly setting the agenda in the types of
data they access and how they use it based on their individual needs. This
reflects a growing trend in the financial services industry towards agile,
connected and open models as powerful growth drivers.
The Elektron API family provides an easy-to-use, single point of access to
Thomson Reuters Elektron content delivered by Elektron Real Time as well as
content delivered using Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform (TREP), which can
include third party content. The availability of the new APIs under an open
source license enables developers to extend the APIs to access multiple data
sources and systems through a single API stack. This helps them to be more
agile and innovative whilst potentially lowering total ownership costs. In this
way, the Elektron API family opens the flow of content and connectivity for
users without compromising class leading delivery.
"Open access to data is driving innovation in the technology industry by
simplifying the processes developers use to access, explore and create," said
Brennan Carley, head of platform and analytics, Financial & Risk, Thomson
Reuters. "The Elektron API family was designed to meet the changing needs of
market participants by supporting innovation and collaboration, helping drive
profitable and sustainable financial markets in an effective, user-friendly
way."
"The financial industry is undergoing unprecedented transformation", said Sang
Lee, co-founder and managing partner, Aite Group. "To succeed, firms need to
have the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and seize new
opportunities. This means that service providers in their turn need to offer
easier and more open tools to enable agile application development, and to
provide developers with open standards that can access many sources of content."
Users of the Elektron API family will also have access to one of the largest
developer and partner communities in the financial industry, helping to increase
the level of productivity, collaboration and innovation across a broad
ecosystem, with Thomson Reuters acting as anchor firm. Through on-going
development and community enhancement, Thomson Reuters intends to support and
build on the APIs over time.
The Elektron API family builds on a history of market data innovation at Thomson
Reuters, which was the first vendor to support completely open market data
architectures with the Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and its predecessors.
The Elektron APIs were developed with active engagement and feedback from
Thomson Reuters customers, including five of the top global banks.
