I've reached out to our quote engineers and will update when I know more.
We can no longer provide quotes for free that are sourced from BATS but we do have some other sources that we can provide for free. Engineers are working to add those entitlements so that the intraday quotes start working again.
Sorry for the delay (paternity leave...). The updates for intraday quotes are staged in our QA environment being verified. I'll update once verified and in Production.
Is there an estimated date on this fix being implemented?
I've really enjoyed using your API but 30 days of downtime is concerning and has driven me to use other sources -- do you have a paid service that is more reliable?
Part of the fix is up in Production as of yesterday. We are still waiting on an additional Production deployment to have all of the entitlement updates there. As mentioned in #42, Nasdaq symbols will only have end-of-day quotes available due to licensing. The data disclaimer will be updated accordingly once all of these updates are completed.
We don't currently have a plans for a paid quote service. The APIs that are available are actually governed by the following terms of use:
Markit On Demand has provided these web services for the limited purposes of use by prospective employees in developing test applications; Markit On Demand personnel in developing test applications; and other individuals Markit On Demand has permitted to develop test applications. Commercial use, or any use outside of the intended scope, is expressly prohibited.
The reason we don't have plans for a paid service is because its unknown how many individual users or small shops would actually pay for such a service versus using whatever might be free out there.
The data for the quote API, e.g. http://dev.markitondemand.com/MODApis/Api/v2/Quote/jsonp?symbol=AAPL&callback=myFunction used to update throughout the day, but now it seems it is only updates once every day. Is that expected?
