RealTime Quotes provides MetaPage Service. This service allows a web site to construct one (or several) web pages which present real-time or delayed information to the site visitor. Your page can look your way, but have current market pricing.

The MetaDocument is a complete HTML document which contains variables instead of actual stock values. The page is held at RealTime Quotes facilities, and the RTQ server delivers your page to the web visitor.

In order to use metaPage services, you'll need an FTP account at rtquotes.com in order to be able to store and update your pages.

A request can be sent using a minimal form for input:
  <form method=get action=http://ipc.rtquotes.com/oem/yourid/ipc/ptables>
<input type=text name=symbol size=10>
<input type=hidden name=page value=yourid/document.htm>
<input type=hidden name=errfile value=yourid/errdoc.htm>
<input type=hidden name=accountid value=client's id>
<input type=hidden name=password value=client's pw>
<input type=submit value="Get Quote">
</form> 		 
The above highlighted fields should be adjusted for your request. The symbol should be the stock the visitor is interested in, and the document and errfile must be the name of documents currently on file at the rtquotes facilities. When you sign-up for metaPage services, you'll get an FTP account on our server and be able to upload your changes whenever you want.

If your clients wish real-time pricing, you must have an account based system at your site which can vet users for membership. By including the accountid and password in the client request, the pricing values returned will be real-time. The accountid and password will be provided by the RealTime Quotes sales office after the client has completed the on-line exchange agreements for nyse and nasdaq.
