Tried manually hitting the iexchange
stock price endpoint and got variable latency between 0.5 - 7 seconds; not super reliable...
Maybe someone else can test it a few times as well?

EDIT: just benchmarked very early morning and am getting better results. Note that we can get pretty decent fundamentals data as well as bid/asks.
Unfortunately, alpha vantage only gives minute interval prices quotes which doesn't compete all that well with other actual real-time brokers (QT, robinhood).
What is neat though is they provide a decent list of technical indicators which could be used for cross referencing purposes down the line.
TD Ameritrade offers free L2 data (2 rps) and an API for it.

Huh, Look like tiigo
offers a firehose (per tick stream) from IEX with their free accounts.
It's only top of book but still.
An FYI, IEX is moving their non-IEX data from their 1.0 api to the new https://iexcloud.io/. See the details.
Woot! Looks like someone has reverse engineered the webull api

I've open an issue tedchou12/webull#64 asking about an async client; so far just :ghost:s.
We should add a backend stat!
Alpaca just added free streaming US exchange data
Looks like yahoo actually has free streaming as well: https://github.com/yahoofinancelive/yliveticker
Update: btw i tried this but the feed is pretty gawd slow arful so not sure it's worth it over just going to IEX or alpaca directly.

Consider this a running list of new data sources we should add.
I was reading through the
pandas_datareader
see-also docs as part of #21 and found the awesome quant data sources list!We should do a thorough investigation to see what is useful!

alpaca
sent some pump email about a new "2.0" api but it seems they're still just relaying iex data with free plans
