FAQs

The subscription requirements can be found on our How to Subscribe page.

Fees are only applicable to subscribers if they wish to receive the live data (up to 24 hours delayed) from an authorised vendor.

The SFBF website will provide delayed data and this is for a users internal business use and not intended to be resold to third parties.  Many vendors are providing the delayed data at no charge.  There is no requirement to have any direct subscription agreement with SFBF to receive this data from your existing vendor.

Delayed data can be used according to the use conditions of your existing vendor.

In the case that you wish to distribute delayed data to third parties as a data service, you will need to enter into a distribution agreement with SFBF.

SFBF distributes data in three ways;

1. It provides 24 hour delayed data on the SFBF website for non professional users. This is free of charge and for internal use only.
2. Authorised Delayed Data vendors provide 24 hour delayed data to their clients at no charge (some vendors provide live and delayed options)
3. Live data (up to 24 hour delayed) is distributed to subscribers who have signed a subscription agreement directly with SFBF (available from the SFBF website). The method of distribution is via an Authorised vendor who has a license to distribute live data. Once the subscriber has a subscription with SFBF, the SFBF advises the vendor to provide access in accordance with the type of subscription. This will allow access via vendor terminals, data feeds and other applications.
