The KDM-API is an Excel Addon, that provides a range of business users, the means to access market and reference data without the need for a financial terminal, such as Bloomberg, ICE or Refinitiv. Its main features are:

• Accessing market data from a desktop PC or laptop
• Compliant with existing agreements for the market data
• No volume limits when extracting data
• The extracted data can be redistributed internally to other users, and systems
• User limits can be applied, thereby avoiding the risk of unexpected and unbudgeted over use
• Fully compatible with existing Excel applications currently sourcing the market data; the KDM-API uses the same syntax and naming convention
• Supports “Working From Home”, primarily because it is a PC-based solution

The KDM-API is priced at a fraction of the cost of a Financial Terminal, and addresses the predicament facing many financial institutions of users that previously had access to a Financial Terminal, but since the recent pandemic and the permanent move to hybrid working practices, still need access to the data when working remote from the office. For these types of worker, the KDM-API is a cost effective solution for solving the problem.
