## What it is

Norgate Data sells end-of-day history for US, Australian and Canadian equities, around 100
futures markets and a set of FX rates. What it has that cheap EOD providers quietly drop is
delisted securities and historically accurate index constituent membership for the S&P, Russell,
Nasdaq and Dow families — the two datasets that stop a backtest from being an artefact of
survivorship bias.

It is not an API, despite sitting in a category called APIs. Data arrives through Norgate Data
Updater, a Windows desktop application maintaining a local database that charting and backtesting
software reads through plugins. No REST endpoint, no WebSocket, no hosted service: if the updater
is not running on the same machine, nothing answers.

## Pricing

Per market, on a 6- or 12-month term, and the tier buys history rather than features. Annual US
stock prices run $270 Silver (ten years, listed securities only), $360 Gold (twenty years plus
current fundamentals), $630 Platinum (back to 1990, with delisted securities and index constituent
history) and $787.50 Diamond (US only, back to 1950). Futures are $270, forex $150, an OTC add-on
$90; Australian and Canadian stock packages are billed in AUD and CAD. The trial is three weeks at
Platinum level, capped at two years of history, and there is no permanent free tier.

## Data & coverage

Daily OHLCV, corporate actions and index membership — no tick data and no real-time quotes at any
price. The only intraday element is the hourly cumulative snapshots on the Australian packages,
which are at least twenty minutes delayed. US coverage spans NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE American, NYSE Arca, Cboe BZX and IEX and includes
ETFs, ETNs and closed-end funds. Futures go back to roughly 1980 or a market's first trade, with
unadjusted and back-adjusted continuous contracts.

## Integrations

Norgate maintains plugins for AmiBroker, Wealth-Lab and RightEdge, plus `norgatedata` and Zipline
packages on PyPI for Windows Python. Third-party vendors add RealTest, TuringTrader, EdgeRater PRO,
QuantumX and the XLQ2 Excel add-in. Anything else goes through the ASCII or MetaStock Legacy export,
which carries price and volume only and none of the metadata that makes the product worth buying.

## Limitations

- Windows only. macOS and Linux need a Windows virtual machine; there is no native build for either.
- Licensed for personal use. Commercial redistribution is not permitted and there is no professional tier to buy.
- The data is rented: when a subscription lapses the database locks and you are contractually required to delete exports and backups.
- Fundamentals are a current snapshot with no history, so point-in-time fundamental backtests are out.
- Delisted securities, formerly-listed OTC securities and constituent history start at Platinum — the headline feature is absent from the two cheapest tiers.
- Two installs per subscription; extra instances cost 1.25x to 1.75x.

## FAQ

### Does Norgate Data have a REST API?

No. There is no hosted endpoint, no WebSocket and no cloud service. Data is maintained in a local database by the Norgate Data Updater, a Windows application, and read by plugins or by the norgatedata Python package on the same machine.

### Does Norgate Data include delisted stocks?

Only from the Platinum tier upwards. Silver and Gold cover currently-listed securities, so the survivorship-bias-free claim that the product is bought for does not apply to the two cheapest packages.

### Does Norgate Data run on macOS or Linux?

Not natively. The updater requires Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2019/2022/2025; Mac and Linux users run it inside a Windows virtual machine, and Python has to run inside that VM too.

### Can I keep the data after the subscription ends?

No. The database locks when a subscription lapses and the licence requires you to delete exports, backups and corporate action files. Only your own derived work, such as backtest results, may be kept.
