The problem
Building the BRVM into a product is still an obstacle course.
- 01
An official feed built for institutions
Subscription contract, site-to-site VPN, FIX protocol: the front door is designed for licensed market participants, not for a product team.
- 02
Delayed platforms with no stated licence
Existing platforms publish delayed quotes and show no redistribution licence: you cannot build a commercial product on top of them.
- 03
Fragile scraping, unusable commercially
Free tools read the exchange’s website. They break whenever a page changes and grant no commercial rights.
- 04
Global vendors with thin BRVM coverage
Institutional terminals are out of budget; retail data vendors cover the BRVM partially, or not at all.
The API
One API for the entire regional exchange.
A normalised schema, English field names, every value timestamped and sourced. Here is what is planned at launch.

- Real-time and 15-minute delayed data
