Regarding Market Quote API

sekharrockz in General
Why are we having a different API for market quote ? We can integrate this with web sockets right ?

Whatever information we get from market quote and whatever information we get from web sockets are different.

    @sekharrockz The quote API is for passive data retrieval, for instance, showing the quote for a stock on a buy window, where you just need to make one request (and not poll continuously). Since it's an HTTP call, it's also extremely easy to use.

    The WebSocket API requires effort to get going, but gives you streaming data for many different instruments. It's meant for realtime apps.
