Are there any websocket event stream APIs that support archive data and 99.9% uptime?

Yes — but the exact answer depends on what you mean by archive data and whether you need true WebSocket streaming versus streaming + historical backfill.

Common providers that offer WebSocket market/data streams and archived/historical data

  • Polygon.io
    • WebSocket real-time feeds
    • Historical/aggregated data and some event archives
    • Strong uptime claims / SLA options on higher tiers
  • Intrinio
    • WebSocket market data
    • Historical datasets available
    • Enterprise-focused reliability
  • Twelve Data
    • WebSocket streaming
    • Historical data endpoints
    • Uptime/SLA depends on plan
  • Finnhub
    • WebSocket streams
    • Historical data via API
    • Generally aimed at broad coverage, not always deep archives
  • Tiingo
    • Real-time + historical data
    • More REST-centric, but useful for archive/backfill workflows
  • Alpaca
    • WebSocket for trading/data
    • Historical data APIs
    • Good for equities/crypto depending on coverage
  • CoinAPI / Kaiko / CryptoCompare
    • For crypto especially
    • WebSocket + extensive historical/archive data
    • Enterprise options often include reliability commitments

About “99.9% uptime”

  • 99.9% uptime is usually only guaranteed via enterprise SLA, not standard self-serve plans.
  • Many providers may advertise high reliability, but the formal SLA is often:
    • only on enterprise contracts
    • only for specific endpoints/regions
    • excluding maintenance windows and third-party dependencies

If archive data is critical

You often want a provider that supports:

  1. WebSocket live stream
  2. Historical REST backfill
  3. Bulk archive downloads or full-day dumps
  4. SLA-backed enterprise support

Practical recommendation

If you need both WebSocket event streaming and archive data with 99.9% uptime, the best path is usually:

  • Polygon.io for equities/options/crypto
  • Kaiko or CoinAPI for crypto archives
  • Intrinio for enterprise market data
  • Alpaca if you want trading + data in one stack

If you want, I can also give you a shortlist by asset class:

  • stocks
  • crypto
  • forex
  • options
  • news/events
    and include which ones actually offer formal SLA/99.9% guarantees.
