Why we exist

Mission & vision.

The compass we steer by, and the destination we’re heading toward, written down so everyone using SiftingIO knows what we’re optimising for.

Mission

Make professional market data reachable for every developer, fintech, and trading team, not just for desks with six-figure budgets.

Vision

A world where any builder can ship a financial product on data of the same quality as a hedge fund's, without the cost or complexity of legacy vendors, across every market that matters.

Our story

From inside the data vendors, out.

SiftingIO didn’t start with a deck. It started with a decade of building trading systems, market data pipelines, and venue connectivity from inside trading firms and exchanges, then watching every team without a Bloomberg-sized budget get quoted prices that made shipping a serious financial product commercially impossible.

We’ve shipped infrastructure that 30,000+ developers and 150+ businesses have come to depend on, across crypto, foreign exchange, and US equities, on real-time and historical workloads, under enterprise SLAs that left no room for hand-waving.

SiftingIO consolidates that experience into one product: multi-venue aggregation, institutional liquidity, tick-level history, and a unified JSON schema across every asset class, available to a solo builder on the free tier and a 10M req/min enterprise on exactly the same stack.

We’re not a marketplace, not a reseller, and not a thin wrapper around someone else’s feed. We operate the ingestion, the normalisation, and the delivery, so you get a single phone to call when something needs to change, and a single contract that covers every market you’ll ever need.

Journey

How we got here.

  1. 2014–2019

    Trading desks and exchange engineering

    Our founders built and ran trading systems, market data pipelines, and venue connectivity inside trading firms and exchanges, and felt the cost of every legacy data vendor along the way.

  2. 2020–2023

    Building data products for institutions

    We shipped data and analytics tooling that 150+ businesses and 30,000+ developers came to depend on, working across crypto, FX, and equities under enterprise contracts.

  3. 2024

    SaltingIO LLC formed

    Incorporated in Wyoming as the operating entity for what would become SiftingIO, separating commercial operations from previous engagements and consolidating IP under one roof.

  4. 2025

    SiftingIO platform launched

    Crypto and forex went live first, on a single bearer token and a unified JSON schema. The free tier and the enterprise tier ran on the same stack from day one.

  5. 2026

    Multi-asset expansion

    US stocks and DEX shipped under the same credential. On-chain fundamentals and crypto perpetuals are next, on a roadmap driven by what customers are actually building.

Principles

What we optimise for.

Builders first

We were the developers locked out by six-figure data minimums. We build for the team that's shipping a side project as carefully as we build for the desk running 10M req/min.

Reliability is a product

A 99.9% SLA is a starting point, not a feature. We staff on-call rotations, publish incidents transparently, and treat every minute of degraded service as something to be earned back.

Boring schemas, exciting outcomes

Stable shapes, additive changes, and versioned endpoints. Your parsing code shouldn't grow as our catalogue does. The interesting work happens above the API, not negotiating its quirks.

Honest pricing

Generous free tier, transparent overage, no surprise throttling mid-backtest. Enterprise plans add scale and SLA. They don't unlock fundamentally different access.
