  • Protocol specification?

    Hi, I'm interested in writing a perl module to interface with the eSignal data stream. For the time being, I'd just like to be able to initate a Level I quote stream.

    Also, I'd like it to be platform-independent (i.e., UNIX-friendly), thererfore it would be a pure-perl interface, rather than linking with the provided libraries.

    Does a protocol specification exist to aid in this task?

    Indeed, I've reverse-engineered a large part of the Scottrader protocol, but the authentication is tricky and beyond my know-how.
    I'm sure I could do the same with eSignal, but it's a very time-consuming process and would be nice if I didn't have to

    Thanks,
    -John

    John,

    Unfortunately, none of our APIs are really platform independent. All of them process data through the eSignal Data Manager, which will only run on Windows.
