verview Web Service Reports The NFN Daily List is a web-based data product offered by Nasdaq Information, LLC. The NFN Daily List is designed to provide the market data community with issue level security details for NFN instruments. This Nasdaq product includes NFN-related reports: 1. NFN Daily List: This component provides advance notification of NFN registration actions such as new instruments, deleted instruments and instrument attribute changes. For the Daily List component, Nasdaq will generate two daily files: a. Daily List Advance Notifications: This file will include all NFN registration actions that were approved by NFN perations on the current business date for a future System effective date. b. Daily List Next Business Day Changes: This file provides only those NFN registration actions scheduled to take effect on the next business date. 2. Directory: This component file provides security level information for all active instruments in the NFN system at the beginning of the current business day. 3. Documentation Posting Service: Nasdaq allows NFN issuers to post prospectus, statements of additional information (SAI), semi-annual and annual reports, and money market monthly financial statements in PDF format for market data vendors to access. Each day, Nasdaq will generate a file defining new NFN documents available for download. 4. Ex Date Report: Nasdaq allows NFN pricing agents to enter advance notifications of Dividend/Interest and Capital Distribution actions. To ensure that the market data community can access these corporate actions on the appropriate ex-date, Nasdaq plans to add an Ex-Date report to the NFN web product. Please note that the NFN Daily List includes CUSIP numbers. Firms must have an agreement in place with the S&P CUSIP Bureau and appropriate NFN entitlement token in order to see the CUSIP values within the NFN files. Secured Website Access Nasdaq offers NFN website access to NFN Daily List subscribers. Through the NFN website, firms may download all the reports listed above. In addition, Nasdaq will offer the following functionality via the NFN website: Search capabilities for the Directory and Daily List products. Ability to view intra-day NFN reporting statistics. Ability to download monthly NFN reports such as counts by pricing agent, counts by issuer, Updates by instrument type and Updates by time interval. Revised: June 6, 2018 Page 2
Firms should be able to log into the NFN website at https://www.nasdaqmfqs.com to take advantage of the new functionality. For details on the NFN website functionality, please refer to the Downloads and Reports section of the NFN Website User Guide. Architecture The NFN Registration Service data files will be accessible to subscribers via Secured Web Service. In order to access the files, NFN Daily List subscribers must have a valid security certificate, user ID and password from Nasdaq. Nasdaq strongly recommends that firms create web service calls to retrieve the NFN Daily List and NFN Directory files. Nasdaq has modified the authentication process for fetching files from the NFN Secure Web Service. All programmatically generated calls should contain client certificate issued by Nasdaq (NasdaqM Web Security Framework). Exported (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179380) certificate can be saved as a file and added to the request. For security reasons, Nasdaq recommends that firms access the NFN web services via PST (user credentials passed via form post) method. The following is an example call that can be used to retrieve files: GetFile("https://www.nasdaqmfqs.com/reports/Directory.ashx?Date=11-29- 2010&Type=pipe","YURUSERNAME","YURPASSWRD", PATHTSAVEDCERT, CERTPASSWRD ); public static void GetFile (string url, string username, string password, string certpath, string certpassword) { string postdata = String.Format("username={0}&password={1}", username, password); StreamReader sr = null; HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url); request.method = "PST"; request.accept = "text/html"; request.cookiecontainer = new CookieContainer(); request.useragent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"; ///Exported client certificate added to the request. 509Certificate yourcert = new 509Certificate(certPath, certpassword); request.clientcertificates.add(yourcert); byte[] bytearray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData); request.contenttype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; request.contentlength = bytearray.length; Stream datastream = request.getrequeststream(); datastream.write(bytearray, 0, bytearray.length); datastream.close(); try { Revised: June 6, 2018 Page 3
} using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) { if ((int)response.status < 400 (int)response.status > 499) { sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); //here you can parse the stream and store in db, or write to a file //i will simply write it to the console Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd()); } else { //error in web request returned by server Console.WriteLine(response.Status + ": " + response.statusdescription); } } } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } finally { sr.close(); } Note: Clients are required to replace username and password with their unique assigned logon credentials from Nasdaq. Additional authentication examples are available upon request. Clients also need to present a valid client side certificate NasdaqM Web Security Framework. ther Sample Calls Using CURL: curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d "username=&password=yyy" url --cert <certificate[:password]> Note: Cookies should be turned on to retain sessions. In addition, explicitly post the username and password (lower case) and remove server variables. Revised: June 6, 2018 Page 4
