Barchart Unveils cmdtyView Labs for Direct Commodity Data Integration
Chicago-based Barchart is shifting how traders interact with commodity intelligence by launching cmdtyView Labs. The new platform grants developers direct, programmatic access to real-time market data, historical series, and advanced analytics, effectively turning the company’s flagship desktop application into a local hub for custom quantitative workflows and algorithmic systems.
Chief Product Officer Chris Harrison noted that industry professionals increasingly demand the ability to manipulate data within their own analytical environments. To facilitate this, the platform includes official software development kits for Python, C#/.NET, Java, Go, JavaScript, and Rust. These tools handle authentication and connectivity, letting developers focus on building risk management or trading strategies rather than maintaining infrastructure. Access to the platform is limited to current cmdtyView Desktop subscribers.
