Answer 1

Beware that these data are both delayed and inconsistent. You are not getting anything even remotely close to tick or real-time data.

From example 2, refresh a few times, and inspect the "LastTradeWithTime" key-value pair. I sometimes get different quotes from different times of day, for no apparent reason. They are sometimes delayed up to three hours.

You get what you pay for; in other words, this is not a free lunch.
