I repeat this not very original question.

DTN IQFeed is still alive.

IB is not transparent about cost.

BB and Refinitive are crazy.

Need feed with nearly global coverage of US, Europe, Pacific Asia. Major stocks and options.

Even good quality snapshots will help.

Free feeds like scraping of yahoo are reasonable but may disappear any moment. By the way, I m pleased to see that my price calibrated on Americans from yahoo is very reasonable.

IQ feed is reasonably good and I use it for certain special datasets they have not for equities. The coverage is not very good, so you dont have nationwide prices.

If you want national bbo I have use with marginal success and not for trading, polygon.io. I would go for the product more enterprise ready if you want to be safe and you monitor a lot of stocks.

They use websockets which is rubbish but you can make it work.

Options you can find some stuff on iqfeed but I am not sure where else.

Any view on IEXCloud API?

I checked that for a surveillance system but they provide just price bbo.

It was not good for me.
