Product roadmap

Apart from CME/Comex the most important exchanges for metals (prices, inventory, warehouse movements etc) are: LME, LBMA, SHFE, Dalian, and for all recycled commodities it is Davis Index. It would be a massive help if you can provide even just end of day data with historical data from these platforms to start with. Live feeds and delayed feeds are obvious next steps but EOD data would be a massive first step.

Currently, indices are indirectly supported through tradable index instruments on CME futures, ETFs, etc. and we don't provide the index values (non-tradable) themselves. This may be sourced from a feed like the Cboe Global Indices Feed or NYSE Global Index Feed.

Currently, equities is supported via individual prop feeds of each venue. While NASDAQ is sufficient for getting NBBO for most of the time, some users prefer something that will be more in line with actual NBBO from SIPs. This feature request tracks 3 possible modes of consolidation for both historical and live data: Databento server-side consolidation of multiple proprietary feeds Consolidated data from proprietary feed like Nasdaq Basic in lieu of SIP Consolidated data from CTA/UTP SIPs We plan on implementing 1-2 of these three options.

Historical and live market news.

e.g. for S&P 500.

Original request from Juan Linares: "Great product but please add dark mode." There are two separate parts to this: Dark mode for the portal and main website (databento.com, databento.com/portal) Dark mode for the docs We can consider this only after Q1 2025 since we're doing a major rebranding of our website which is expected to finish by early April 2025. The new colors will make it easier for us to implement a dark mode.

It would be helpful if OPRA trade conditions were included in the normalized schemas. This is useful information that's currently lost during normalization. Also include the "message type" of each last sale message. Similar to: https://roadmap.databento.com/roadmap/us-equity-trade-condition-codes

We've received some requests recently for Kraken data. Please upvote if this is of interest. We're still determining whether this is worth the risk.

Add trade reporting modifier flags, e.g. those found in CTS sale conditions here: https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/ctaplan/notifications/trader-update/cts_output_spec.pdf Similar to: https://roadmap.databento.com/b/n0o5prm6/feature-ideas/include-opra-trade-conditions

At the moment, options data users have to rely on fetching the definition schema and filtering for symbols that they're interested in using fields like expiration, asset, underlying_product, instrument_class, group, and strike_price. It would be convenient to fetch the options or options chains with particular conditions on expiration and strike price without going through the definition schema. This would be similar to smart symbology for futures. Note that even after this feature is released, we still recommend users to use definition as it gives more control and transparency over the symbology resolution.

The ability to remove tickers from an already started live data subscription. Currently subscriptions can only end by closing the session.

The EQUS.MINI dataset does not have the status schema in either the Historical or Live API. This schema is needed for determining if symbols are trading (e.g. open for quoting/trading, or if they were halted or resumed mid-session). As a workaround, users may use the status schema from other US equities datasets such as XNAS.BASIC or IEXG.TOPS (Nasdaq Basic, IEX Tops) through the historical API. However, these are only available on a 15-minute delay without additional licensing fees. This is tracked internally as D-7301.

This will be captured at SIX Swiss's primary colo at Equinix ZH4 and include all granularities.

This feature would allow the user to request trading calendar information (such as trading session start/end times) via our API. This is especially useful when considering trading sessions that can span multiple UTC dates (and hence the possibility of having multiple trading sessions within a single day). Keywords: Market calendar, trading holidays.
