The Data
How do I receive the data? 
Depending on your needs, reports are accessed by email or File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
The website is available for ad-hoc queries of the entire Directors Deals deatabase.
What file formats are used?
Our Standard delivery is the daily bulletin email; this contains the Daily Dealings in HTML format with a printable PDF and the Company Snapshot PDFs.
We also offer Quantative Data feed, normally available in Tab delimited text files (.ttx), but is also available in standard formats.
This is also available via XML using our Push service. Other delivery formats include excel, csv and hard copy (Fax & Post).
How is data delivered?
Most clients receive reports straight to their desktop via email and use the website for ad-hoc queries. Quantative files may be delivered by FTP.
This enables data to be uploaded directly to an intranet.
How frequently do I receive the data and at what times?
We deliver the Daily Quantative Datafiles & the Daily Bulletin each day at the close of the London Stock Exchange at 17:00GMT (excluding UK bank holidays & weekends).
Intra-day Updates are available for Quantative clients using our Push service. Company Snapshots can also be sent on an intra-day basis. Additionally we can also provide Weekly, Fortnightly & Monthly reports.
Can I send friends copies of Directors Deals products?
Under our standard licence terms redistribution of Directors Deals products, such as emailing copies to friends, is not permitted.
However, if there are a number of friends or colleagues who would like access to the data, we can negotiate the licence terms accordingly. Please email us for details of our group subscriptions.
Where does the data come from?
Directors Deals collects the data on director transactions from various regulators and stock exchange update services throughout the working day.
We strip out the salient content, verify its accuracy and then manually add any explanatory information if necessary. The information is then added to our database.
Missing or apparently incorrect information is often checked with the source to ensure accuracy. In some cases missing data is derived from data we already hold on our database such as Holdings or the Value of transactions.
