Real Time Etrade Quote API

[bitcode]

I am looking to build a VB API to leverage an etrade or ameritrade
accounts' ability to receive streaming quotes. The packets are SSL so
no use sniffing them to get a feel for the transaction process.
Except for to see the ip and that there is one that's cryptoed. A
company MedVed created a program called QuoteTracker that has the
ability to retreive streaming information from many of the online
brokerage firms. Does anyone have any idea how they did this?

Maybe he'll clue you in as he lurks here.

I would not be able to tell you what their API is, since E*Trade will
not appreciate me disseminating this information, but I can give you
a general hint: any Java program running in a browser makes its source
available to everyone - although it may be obfuscated.

Piddy, ask Michael if Jerry Medved will give you the Delphi code?

Anyone who has that information would risk getting into a lot
of trouble with eTrade's legal council if they made that info
public. The API that eTrade uses is about to be high proprietary
information.
