Python SDK - IVolatility Data based on subscription technology
The Python SDK is a software library developed for retrieving data from IVolatility's primary data feed
server. The data feed server combines the capabilities of API endpoints as well as professional-grade
performance in speed and throughput. The main advantage of the data feed server is the subscription
mechanism. By subscribing to a feed, price updates come through the pipeline automatically and
immediately once the market price changes, without the need to make extra calls to the server.
Please Note: Our standard tiers are for "non-professional users"

to discuss a professional license
arrangement. In broad terms, professional usage relates to commerce or general business activity
where market data is used in trading or adding other value on or behalf of businesses or entities.
On the other hand, private usage refers to market data for personal use only.
