Connects to Interactive Brokers Gateway to fetch real-time stock and option market data.
The IBKR Server acts as a local intermediary, enabling applications to retrieve essential market data directly from an Interactive Brokers Gateway instance. It offers access to real-time stock prices, trading volumes, and option bid/ask/last quotes, making it an invaluable component for local trading automation, analytical tools, or custom interfaces that require immediate access to IBKR's extensive market information. Designed for straightforward integration, it requires a running IB Gateway and a Python environment to provide crucial financial data.
