FIS Market Data Selectfeed XML
Technical Description
Cookie declaration: FIS MarketMap Selectfeed sets a first-party cookie named XMLID in the query response to successful login. XMLID contains a token (a text string) valid for 24 hours. Clients may use XMLID subsequently to allow prevalidated (and therefore more rapid) authentication processing. Further first-party cookies, detailed here, may be set by akamai.com.
Each MarketMap user has a personal profile including data entitlements. User authentication is necessary before any data can be retrieved. Each user has credentials comprising a username, user group and password, which are verified by the SMART entitlement system.
Two secure methods of XML authentication are supported: credentials can be submitted in POST methods securely, or a session id (token) can be created using the Login interface. Token authentication is preferred.
After a Login request, a unique session id is created which remains valid for the next 24 hours.
