is there a place to get free API futures data?

[IronFist]

Every 5 seconds or so?

I'm not aware of free live data with an API as the exchanges charge for that. You can pay for CTS T4 or Option City-City Trader with the API enabled and get live data for a reasonable cost. Then you can either use that to trade or not.

What trading software do you use now?

www.interactivebrokers.com api will give you realtime futures prices. Just pay the exchange fee. Delayed is free.

Thank you both. Most likely delayed will work for this purpose.

I just contacted IB and they said you need an account.

I don't use any, legitimately. I closed my OEC account.

Of course. They're a broker, not a data vendor. Think about what the B in IB stands for.

GDAX is a broker and they provide data.
