Yes, they are greedy, what can you do?) But if you want to arbitrage, api is the only option available.
Some years ago (before crisis), I worked with gold futures and took free quotes from an imported site, because they were slightly ahead of FORTS and + moreover were less noisy. So, sometimes you can do it for free.
 
Yuriy Asaulenko:
If possible, please send me some other links. Not every page can be used to pull information from it. Connect - you connect, but the format of the data is stored in, say, Flash. And paragraph.
And please send me also, I'm in Sharp, I'll dig, and the question is really interesting.
 
Yuriy Asaulenko:
I suspect the API requires an account.

I tried to get it for free, signed up, got a demo account, got an email and that was it. No API and no access to the demo, it's rubbish. Here is an excerpt from this email

API - just read the pdf of the description from their website tonight. Link later if I find it a second time - not very much, but buried.

PS If promised, link to API - https://www.lmax.com/professional/access

ZS Maybe what I do not understand, the API is not available or not available?

i can't go to an mt4 Demo, it's not available, i can get it through another broker who is directly connected to their liquidity, right through mt4. in lmax you can also ask for mt4, but only after you open a live account

With a lot of persistence you can get both API and demo for some time (for 2 weeks) from LMAX. There is also Rithmix - everything is easier to get there.

For rithmix, sqg and saxo it is necessary to write a program which will pull quotes from their terminal windows, as far as I know, at least I have only seen such implementations
