Where can I find electronic information about stock market transactions that is free or very cheap?

I would like to write a computer program that analyzes stock market transactions. The problem is I am having trouble finding this information.

If you want to check out existing software that uses real time data, then there is this one:

What put forth the effort if you're potentially wasting your time - and you yourself can determine that.
