The NSE Application Programming Interface (API) has been developed to cater to the growing demand for cost effective data delivery alternative to the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol. Our API Infrastructure is available to a range of developers for the display of Real Time, Delayed or End of Day data on Websites, Wallboards and other Web-friendly applications.  ​​​
 
​Our API is easy to integrate into any website or portal and is available in JSON and XML format; see Market Data pricelist for annual subscription charges. Details on how to register and available data products can be found on the NSE API Website (http://marketdataapi.nse.com.ng​).​​​ ​​​ ​​ ​​​​​​​

The Nigerian Stock Exchange Network (X-NET) is a fully managed private financial network providing real-time, low-latency electronic connectivity to The Exchange’s trading platform over all asset classes to the Broker/Dealer community. In addition, The Exchange provides the Broker Dealer community with remote management and support service for the network and the components of the trading workstation.

Why go with the XNET Service? ​

• The architecture provides Broker/Dealers with a completely dedicated and fully redundant, point-to-point solution with no single point of failure or potential for message bottlenecks. At a default bandwidth of 1Mbp, the network is future-proof, scalable and well positioned to deal with the increased levels of traffic and use of other message-intensive, time-sensitive trading strategies.​
  
• ​The knowledge and expertise of how the Automated Trading System (ATS) integrates with XNET enables our dedicated team of technical professionals to investigate and resolve trading and technical issues quickly by working closely with all parties concerned. 
  
• The network is a reliable, proven extranet for mission-critical trade routing and data services built on a fully resilient infrastructure that provides adequate redundancy at both network and Telco levels to ensure high availability and optimal performance. 
  
• The network is a fully supported and comprehensive solution that includes connectivity management, testing and certification with each destination.
