# Market Data (view-only)

Clients of Finery Markets can share view-only Market Data between Maker, Taker, Master and sub-Taker account types. View-only Market Data is independent of  enabling  trading therefore, can be enabled before the completion of the KYB. View-only Market Data is not subject to the credit check (i.e. trading gross limit).

**How can I access the view-only Market Data?**

Once the LP approves your connection request, they can switch on the view-only market data, even if you are still onboarding.

1. You will receive a platform notification and an email once the LP grants you a view-only access
2. Navigate to the Trading page.
3. Add an instrument tile (e.g., `BTC-USDT`). You can now see their view-only Market Data in the Liquidity Sources widget.
4. Click the "Source" in the tile,  select the new LP from the list. You can see the prices for the selected size or amount.
5. You may add multiple tiles of the *same instrument* to compare market data from different LPs. For example, set one tile to "Aggregated book" and a second tile to the view-only LP, then place them side-by-side.

* Source Labels:
  * Grey label: "View-only market data. Trading not enabled by LP."
  * Blue label: "Market data available. Trading enabled by LP."
  * "Market Data is not available": The LP has not enabled trading or view-only market data access.

**How to enable View-Only Market Data**

You have full control over sharing market data with clients, when their trading is not yet enabled.

1. Navigate to the Risk Management page.
2. Find the client connection and click "Edit".
3. Go to the "Market data and markups" section.
4. Activate the toggle: "Show view-only market data when trading is not enabled".

**Key Takeaways**

* This toggle is specifically for sharing data when trading is disabled.
* If trading is *already enabled* for a client, their market data is shared by default.
* You can revoke this view-only access at any time by disabling the same toggle. The client will lose access to the prices if trading is also disabled.

## Which API method should I use to subscribe to the Market Data?&#x20;

Master Account and Taker account can access view-only Market Data using the following method

{% content-ref url="/pages/SW2ZrjnmvAx3X7e86X7E" %}
[Feed 'MD' - View-only Firm Market data](/api-reference/websocket-api/feed-md-view-only-firm-market-data.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

If you intend to utilize your existing WS, FIX, or REST integration, you may acquire a Master account and create a sub-Taker account. By enabling the view-only Market Data feature for the sub-Taker, the Master will share the view-only Market Data through one of these methods
