What teams use it for
Research and alpha

Positioning, filings and alternative data that move before the price, with the history to prove it.

Risk

Crowding, borrow and squeeze risk on longs and shorts, every day rather than twice a month.

Systematic trading

Point-in-time series with publication dates on every value, ready for factor and event research.

Data science

One security master and whole-market daily files that load straight into a warehouse.

Brokerage

Short interest, borrow, insider and event data for client screens, research notes and alerts.

Redistribution

License ORTEX data and Market Intelligence into your own terminal, app or marketplace.

One integration. Eighteen datasets.

Point-in-time history

Every value dated to when the market could first know it; late corrections never rewrite history.

One security master

Ticker and exchange, ISIN, FIGI and ORTEX identifiers across every dataset.

Delivery your way

REST API, whole-market daily files over SFTP or S3, CSV, Python and Excel.

License what you need

Individual datasets or the whole stack, from a research seat to redistribution.

Your data, your way.

ORTEX API

A documented REST API returning JSON or CSV: one stock's full history, a whole region on a single date, or your own universe in one call. A free test key gets a developer started in minutes.

Whole-market daily files

An entire region's data for a date in a single request, complete before the US open and published only when the day is final.

SFTP and cloud delivery

Scheduled daily files delivered over SFTP or straight to your own Amazon S3 bucket, for teams that load data into a warehouse rather than call an API.

Python and Excel

A Python SDK for research pipelines and a native Microsoft Excel add-in, so the same numbers reach models and spreadsheets without re-keying.

Feeds and alerts

RSS, webhooks and email for Market Intelligence and alerts, filterable by ticker, type, theme and severity.

Platform and marketplaces

The ORTEX platform on web and mobile, and ORTEX data on Nasdaq Data Link, the Benzinga Data Marketplace and Exchange Data International.
