I am creating this topic so that developers can add data on global indices to the real-time API.  
Non ETFs

Such as  
S&P 500  
DJIA 30  
Nasdaq 100  
Russell 2000  
etc.

Real-time data in the API for global indexes is very necessary.  
Since these are the main drivers of the markets in general,  
and they are needed to monitor real-time trading.  
Please consider the proposal and add these indexes to the API,  
for both a paper account and a live account.
