QuoteMedia

QuoteMedia, Inc. is an independent, publicly traded (OTC QMCI) financial market data and financial technology company headquartered in Fountain Hills, Arizona, founded in 1999. It licenses real-time, delayed, and historical market data - equities, options, futures, commodities, currencies, mutual funds, ETFs, and indices - plus fundamentals, news, SEC/SEDAR filings, corporate actions, earnings, fund research, and ESG data to brokerages, banks, media, and investor relations customers. Data is delivered through the QuoteMedia OnDemand (QMOD) cloud REST API in JSON, XML, and CSV, an enterprise tick-by-tick Streaming Data Feed with WebSocket, Java, and .NET APIs, and bulk file services over SFTP. Access is entitlement-managed via webmaster IDs provisioned through sales, with a Quotestream Connect self-service package for individual developers; detailed API reference documentation lives behind a login on the company's Freshdesk knowledge base.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles QuoteMedia the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — QuoteMedia scores 26.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 21/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile QuoteMedia

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for QuoteMedia. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 4

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
