Stock API Announces Major Global Expansion with Six New Exchanges

FinFeedAPI is excited to announce a significant expansion of Stock API market data coverage with the addition of six new stock exchanges from across Europe, Africa, and Asia. This latest update provides direct API access to the following markets:

• Philippine Stock Exchange (XPHS) - with historical data back to 2019
• Madrid Stock Exchange (XMAD)
• Johannesburg Stock Exchange (XJSE) - with historical data back to 2020
• Budapest Stock Exchange (XBUD)
• Bucharest Stock Exchange (XBSE) - with historical data back to 2009
• Athens Stock Exchange (ASEX) - with historical data back to 2020

This expansion is a key step in our commitment to providing comprehensive, global market data through a single, unified API, empowering developers and analysts with the tools they need to build powerful financial applications and gain a complete view of the market.

Why This Matters for Developers, Analysts, and Traders

For developers, accessing multiple international exchanges has traditionally been a complex and resource-intensive task. By adding these six exchanges to our existing infrastructure, we provide a streamlined solution with several key benefits:

• Unified API: Access data from all new exchanges using the same API and consistent data schemas you already use. This eliminates the need to learn new integrations or manage disparate data feeds.
• Reduced Development Time: The standardized integration allows you to add data from these new regional markets to your applications quickly, reducing development cycles from months to hours.
• Cost Efficiency: This provides access to new, diverse datasets without the need for separate, costly direct-licensing agreements with each individual exchange.
• Guaranteed Scalability: The same reliable infrastructure that powers your access to major world exchanges now serves data from these new markets, ensuring consistent performance and uptime.

For market analysts and traders, this expansion offers a much broader and more nuanced view of the global financial landscape, opening up new opportunities for portfolio diversification, regional analysis, and the development of more sophisticated trading strategies.

Market Spotlights

This expansion connects our users to a diverse range of economies and financial centers:

• Madrid Stock Exchange (XMAD): As the largest securities market in Spain, the Madrid Stock Exchange is a key gateway to the European economy, with a market capitalization of over €1.2 trillion.
• Johannesburg Stock Exchange (XJSE): The largest and most developed stock exchange in Africa, the JSE has a market capitalization of over US$1 trillion, making it a critical hub for investment on the continent.
• Philippine Stock Exchange (XPHS): A major exchange in Southeast Asia, the PSE has a market capitalization of over US$300 billion, offering a strategic entry point into one of the region's fastest-growing economies.
• Athens Stock Exchange (ASEX): The national stock exchange of Greece, with a market capitalization of over US$100 billion, offering insights into the evolving economic landscape of Southern Europe.
• Bucharest Stock Exchange (XBSE): A rapidly developing market in Eastern Europe, with a market capitalization of over US$70 billion, providing a unique window into the Romanian economy.
• Budapest Stock Exchange (XBUD): A key market in Central Europe, with a market capitalization of over US$60 billion, offering access to a diverse range of industries in the region.

Practical Use Cases and Applications

With this expanded dataset, users can now perform more sophisticated, cross-regional analysis. Here are a few examples:

• Comparative Sector Analysis: An analyst can compare the performance of the banking sector in Southern Europe versus Eastern Europe. By pulling historical data for major banks listed on the Madrid (XMAD), Athens (ASEX), Budapest (XBUD), and Bucharest (XBSE) exchanges, they can create a performance index to track post-2020 recovery and identify regional trends.
• Emerging Markets Volatility Scanner: A developer can build a tool to screen for trading opportunities across different continents. The application could scan all symbols on the Johannesburg (XJSE) and Philippine (XPHS) exchanges daily, calculate their 30-day volatility, and flag assets with unusual price action, presenting a unified view of emerging market dynamics.
• Global Macro Backtesting: A quantitative analyst can backtest a strategy based on commodity prices by analyzing the performance of mining and resource companies. They can pull data for major resource companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (XJSE) and correlate their performance with historical commodity data to validate their models.
• EU Expansion Investment Strategy: A portfolio manager could assess the economic convergence of newer EU member states by comparing the dividend yields and growth of blue-chip stocks on the Bucharest (XBSE) and Budapest (XBUD) exchanges against more established EU markets like Madrid (XMAD).
