A delimiter is a character or sequence of characters used to specify boundaries between separate, independent parts of data in plain text or other data streams. This article shows what delimiter we use for our Data Feeds.
1. Tilde Delimiter
Our Data Feed files are tilde (~) delimited, which can be handled by most technology that supports CSV files.
Below is an example from Feed 74 AQRM. It shows the header row followed by data rows.
While some of our feeds can be opened in Excel (if the file is small enough), we do not support it.
Most of our feeds are too large for Excel to import. These files are designed to be loaded into a database and queried via SQL.
