Reuters MAPI(Matching API) offers two separate interfaces, one dedicated for price discovery and another dedicated for order management. The Reuters Foundation API (RFA) is used for price discovery and an industry standard FIX interface has been introduced for order management and post trading processing. The Matching API solution will ultimately replace our current Auto Quote API. Market data from the Matching service is provided via a Point to Point Server(P2PS) which is accessible via the RFA API. The Matching service requires all users to be first authenticated via Matching FIX interface before they can successfully connect to P2PS. The FIX logon response provides the requesting authentication token which can then be used to login to the P2PS via the RFA. The authorization token is renewed by the Matching Host each time the user logs into the FIX interface.
