go-iex

A Go library for accessing the IEX Developer API.

go-iex is a library to access the IEX Developer API from Go. It provides a thin wrapper for working with the JSON REST endpoints and IEXTP1 pcap data.

IEX is a fair, simple and transparent stock exchange dedicated to investor protection. IEX provides realtime and historical market data for free through the IEX Developer API. By using the IEX API, you agree to the Terms of Use. IEX is not affiliated and does not endorse or recommend this library.

Usage

pcap2csv

You can use the included pcap2csv tool to create intraday minute bars from the pcap data files:

$ go install github.com/timpalpant/go-iex/pcap2csv
$ pcap2csv < input.pcap > output.csv

which produces a CSV with OHLC data:

symbol,time,open,high,low,close,volume
AAPL,2017-07-10T14:33:00Z,148.9100,149.0000,148.9100,148.9800,2527

pcap2json

If you just need a tool to convert the provided pcap data files into JSON, you can use the included pcap2json tool:

$ go install github.com/timpalpant/go-iex/pcap2json
$ pcap2json < input.pcap > output.json

Fetch real-time top-of-book quotes

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "net/http"

  "github.com/timpalpant/go-iex"
)

func main() {
  client := iex.NewClient(&http.Client{})

  quotes, err := client.GetTOPS([]string{"AAPL", "SPY"})
  if err != nil {
      panic(err)
  }

  for _, quote := range quotes {
      fmt.Printf("%v: bid $%.02f (%v shares), ask $%.02f (%v shares) [as of %v]\n",
          quote.Symbol, quote.BidPrice, quote.BidSize,
          quote.AskPrice, quote.AskSize, quote.LastUpdated)
  }
}

Fetch historical top-of-book quote (L1 tick) data.

Historical tick data (TOPS and DEEP) can be parsed using the PcapScanner.

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"os"
	"time"

	"github.com/timpalpant/go-iex"
	"github.com/timpalpant/go-iex/iextp/tops"
)

func main() {
	client := iex.NewClient(&http.Client{})

	// Get historical data dumps available for 2016-12-12.
	histData, err := client.GetHIST(time.Date(2016, time.December, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	} else if len(histData) == 0 {
		panic(fmt.Errorf("Found %v available data feeds", len(histData)))
	}

	// Fetch the pcap dump for that date and iterate through its messages.
	resp, err := http.Get(histData[0].Link)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	packetDataSource, err := iex.NewPcapDataSource(resp.Body)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	pcapScanner := iex.NewPcapScanner(packetDataSource)

	// Write each quote update message to stdout, in JSON format.
	enc := json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout)

	for {
		msg, err := pcapScanner.NextMessage()
		if err != nil {
			if err == io.EOF {
				break
			}

			panic(err)
		}

		switch msg := msg.(type) {
		case *tops.QuoteUpdateMessage:
			enc.Encode(msg)
		default:
		}
	}
}

Iterate over data from a live multicast UDP stream of the DEEP feed.

IEX's live multicast data can also be parsed using the PcapScanner.

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"io"
	"net"
	"os"

	"github.com/timpalpant/go-iex"
	"github.com/timpalpant/go-iex/iextp/deep"
)

func main() {
        multicastAddress := "233.215.21.4:10378"
	addr, err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", multicastAddress)
	if err != nil {
	        panic(err)
	}

	conn, err := net.ListenMulticastUDP("udp", nil, addr)
	if err != nil {
	        panic(err)
	}

	packetDataSource := iex.NewPacketConnDataSource(conn)
	pcapScanner := iex.NewPcapScanner(packetDataSource)

	// Write each quote update message to stdout, in JSON format.
	enc := json.NewEncoder(os.Stdout)

	for {
		msg, err := pcapScanner.NextMessage()
		if err != nil {
			if err == io.EOF {
				break
			}

			panic(err)
		}

		switch msg := msg.(type) {
		case *deep.PriceLevelUpdateMessage:
			enc.Encode(msg)
		default:
		}
	}
}
