Data can be delivered in XML format via FTP (data files), via API, through Thomson Reuters proprietary applications or on third-party channels.
FTP
Data Files (usually in XML format) are usually designed to be database ready and work at various levels to meet different user groups' requirements. At the most basic level, you can build a system that will store current data and create custom reports with your own 'look and feel'. Users with more complex needs can create a full time series database to mirror the Reuters database and track data changes over time, analyze historical performance, do proprietary modeling and perform custom queries and calculations. FTP delivery works as follows:
- A scheduled data file is generated from Thomson Reuters.
- The data file is placed on Reuters FTP server and a client is given an ID and password to access the FTP and retrieve the file.
- On the client-side, a script is written to extract all data, or a sub-set of licensed data, which is then stored in a client's database.
- From the database, a client can manipulate the data and/or design reports with their own look and feel.
XML API (Application Programming Interface)
This a hosted solution where the content resides at Thomson Reuters but is offered seamlessly over the internet or fthrough the client's intranet, removing the tasks associated with data and server management (downloading the data, building and managing the database, creating loading and retrieval routines). This solution allows you to define the display, customization, and use of the information tightly integrated with your web site or application. XML API deliver works as follows:
- A user searches for company information by entering search parameters into a user interface.
- Thomson Reuters XML API takes the search parameters and sends the query to the Thomson Reuters database.
- Reuters sends requested information back to the client through the API. Data is processed through a client-side style sheet or application, and presented to the user.
