Project Overview We are seeking an experienced developer to build a low-latency, real-time stock screener using the QuoteMedia API. The screener will monitor all actively traded U.S. stocks and display key metrics with updates occurring every second. The ideal candidate should have prior experience building financial data tools, stock scanners, or trading platforms and be comfortable working with high-frequency data updates. Core Requirements Data Source QuoteMedia API will be used as the primary data provider. The system must pull and maintain a live list of all U.S. equities. Required Metrics For each stock, the screener must calculate and display: Current price Volume Relative volume (daily) Relative volume (5-minute percentage) Gap percentage Change from previous close (%) Short interest All data will be sourced from QuoteMedia and, where necessary, calculated or derived from the raw API data. Real-Time Functionality The screener must operate with low latency. Data should refresh every second. System should be optimized for fast performance and scalability. News Integration Each stock ticker should be clickable. Clicking a ticker should open relevant news articles for that stock. News data will also be provided via the QuoteMedia API. Reference Platform For a general idea of the functionality and layout, the system should be similar to the stock scanner found on: Warrior Trading platform (demo access available upon request) This is only for feature reference, not a direct copy. Preferred Qualifications Experience building stock screeners or trading tools Familiarity with financial market data APIs Strong backend development skills (Python, Node.js, or similar) Experience with real-time data processing Ability to build a responsive UI (web-based preferred) Deliverables Fully functional real-time stock screener Source code and documentation Setup instructions for deployment API integration with QuoteMedia Basic user interface for viewing and filtering stocks Additional Notes Access to the QuoteMedia API will be provided after hiring. Please include examples of similar financial or real-time data projects you have worked on. If you’d like, I can also: Write a fixed-price scope with milestones Estimate a realistic budget range Create a technical architecture outline you can give to developers to avoid being overcharged. add somewhere in the details each stock ticker will need to have the option to click on stock ticker to view news which news stream will also be provided from QuoteMedia New API.
