Exchange Data International: securities data, feeds and licensing

The bespoke service maintains listed and unlisted security databases for exchanges, asset managers, stockbrokers and data providers. Published examples include extracting fixed-income terms, updating company results and transcribing mortgage- and asset-backed security reports into a client’s template. It can also alter data models and supporting software as part of the outsourced workflow.[9]

WCA alerts can be arranged around effective or ex-dates up to 30 days ahead, with selected event fields and repeated reminders. Historical corporate-action extracts can also be purchased for a specified period, market and event selection.[3]

The developer portal provides a personal dashboard showing current plans and usage statistics. Its interactive API Playground is tied to the APIs to which the user subscribes. Registration is the access route; the portal separates developer/startup, business/enterprise and academic/institutional licences. A feed subscription and developer-portal access should therefore be scoped to the datasets and usage purchased.[11]

Pricing is tailored to the selected data and the client’s agreement. The public pricing page invites a discussion rather than listing standard numeric tariffs. The contact form includes a trial request, but does not publish one universal trial length.[13][20]

The following conditions are from the main-site terms. The service agreement identifies the subscribed products, delivery scope and commencement date.[14]

The developer portal publishes a different contract template: its renewal increase is the greater of 5% or RPI, and email is ineffective for formal notice. These are version-specific provisions. The applicable document is the version incorporated into the customer’s service agreement; the two published templates should not be combined.[15]

For bespoke services, the brochure specifies monthly invoicing in dollars or sterling, with 30-day payment terms.[10]

Bespoke quotations require a detailed specification, reviewed to resolve ambiguities. Data transfers use SFTP or email, with a dedicated secure SFTP site where required. The brochure describes service levels and tiered escalation without publishing common response times for every engagement.[10]

End-of-day pricing has a correction workflow that matters after initial ingestion. EDI flags exceptional price changes and subsequently issues corrected records through a repush file. Its instructions require that file to be processed continuously so corrected values overwrite the earlier prices in the customer’s system.[6]

The developer description distinguishes unconfirmed exchange closes from confirmed prices, which can include after-hours trading. Availability varies by market and time zone. Those statuses affect which observation a downstream valuation or reporting process is using.[12]

The published validation manual describes reconciliation of received files, checks for missing critical fields, senior-analyst escalation and sample reviews. Corporate-action rules include source-date checks, event deletion and cancellation controls, and restricted changes to inactive securities. The process combines software checks with analyst review; its documented exception reports address issues that cannot all be handled by automated rules.[18]

The current contact page lists international support around the clock Monday to Friday, ending at 08:00 GMT on Saturday and resuming at 23:00 GMT on Sunday. UK and North American public holidays apply according to staff location. Headquarters opening hours are separately listed as Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:30.[20]

EDI markets flexible redistribution agreements for embedding its data in a broader service. Its main-site standard terms instead grant the specified internal-use licence, retain intellectual property with EDI or its suppliers, and require express consent for redistribution. SEDOL data may require a separate London Stock Exchange licence.[14][16]

The developer EOD page separately identifies redistribution licensing requirements for Santiago, Kazakhstan, Johannesburg and Australian exchanges and SAFEX derivatives. Those product-specific requirements remain relevant to a redistributor’s chosen market coverage.[12]

For bespoke engagements, clients retain the scraping code, scripts and methodologies developed for them. This commitment concerns project deliverables, with underlying dataset rights governed separately.[10]

EDI’s current quality page describes ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 27001 information-security certification. Its linked ISO 27001 announcement is dated 9 September 2020 and concerns its information security management systems. That dated announcement records the certification event; it is not a current certificate document.[17][19]

Exchange Data International Limited is an active UK private company, number 02941372, incorporated on 22 June 1994. Its registered office is Suite 1, 5 Rochester Mews, London NW1 9JB. EDI also identifies this location as its headquarters.[21][20]

For bespoke services, US clients contract with Exchange Data International Inc. under New York State law; other clients use the UK company under English law.[10]

Information Publishing Limited lists EDI’s UK company as wholly owned. The wider group also includes distinct businesses such as Copp Clark, Econoday and Stockval; its milestones date those acquisitions to 2025, 2025 and 2026 respectively.[22]

SRF’s point-in-time service provides history from January 2005. PIT_SRF records changes at listing level as a time series, with start and end dates on each record. PIT_EVT supplies corporate-action context for changes to static fields. This supports historical reconstruction alongside the latest reference file, rather than assuming today’s identifiers and attributes describe an earlier date.[4]

EDI Ventures offers early-stage fintechs data for proof-of-concept work without an upfront data charge. In return, the programme requests a revenue share from sales using the data and an equity option. Continued nil-cost supply is linked to that revenue-share arrangement, so this is a commercial venture programme with an economic exchange.[23]
