Who has the easiest market data API?

L

LodeRunner

(Sorry for the cross post, realized this is the proper forum.)

I'd like to take my data feed (preferably both historical and real time) and dump it into an SQL database as quickly and painlessly as possible.

If I could get something that automatically wrote to CSV or even some proprietary garbled-looking (but consistent) format, I'd still be happy. I don't mind coding up some string manipulation from scratch, but I do not want to have to worry about convoluted class structures, error message handling and maintaining a robust connection, having the API suddenly change on me, etc. Ideally, I want to worry about my own code and only my own code.

Does such a product exist?

Keep it simple... Connect NinjaTrader to a data feed, then export the data out in CSV via http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/exporting.htm
 
Other than lack of *nix support (I'll deal), TradeLink looks fanastic. Thanks, guys. Quick question though, how does one automatically download IB historical data? Realtime recording was a snap via Record, but Tik Converter doesn't support IB. Or does Gauntlet do this? One year of 1 sec bars will be very handy...
