Vela (FKA SR Labs)

Vela Trading Technologies (formerly SR Labs) was a New York-based provider of low-latency market data feed handlers, execution gateways, and multi-asset trading platforms (SuperFeed, Metro, DMA Platform) for capital markets, surfaced here as an Insight Partners portfolio company. Vela merged into Exegy in May 2021 and no longer operates independently - tradevela.com is offline (HTTPS refused at probe time) while its DNS now points at Exegy mail infrastructure. Vela published no self-serve public HTTP API; SuperFeed was delivered via the open-source OpenMAMA API (C++/C#/Java) with an OpenMAMA Developer Program, and its 2017 OptionsCity acquisition exposed the now-decommissioned City Trader REST API, for which a first-party Python client survives on the legacy GitHub org. See the exegy profile for the successor company's current surface.

Vela (FKA SR Labs) is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Financial, Market Data, Trading, and Low Latency.
