Matching engine for comparing data feeds with user profile criteria

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive a request from a user to receive a notification if an event occurs;
• receive event data relating to occurrence of events;
• translate the request into a request value;
• format the event data into input values;
• identify if any of the input values match the request value by comparing the input values to only a subset of request values;
• and
• send the notification to the user if the input value matches the request value.

A method comprising:

• receiving requests from users to receive notifications upon occurrence of events;
• translating the requests into request values;
• receiving event data relating to the occurrence of events;
