How to access level 2 data (MBP and MBO) in RDP?

In RDP API, how do we retrieve exchanges' level 2 market data which are in MBP (Market by Price) and MBO (Market by Order)?

Hi @benjamin.lam

To access level 2 data, you would need a licence/access to a real-time streaming data service such as Refinitiv Real-Time Optimised - do you have a MachineID - which looks something like : GE-A-01103123-3-1234?

If you do have access to the above, then you can refer to the relevant tutorials e.g.

Websocket API Level 2 Tutorials

RT-SDK Java Level 2 Tutorial

A few useful articles and examples:
