Product roadmap

European Energy Exchange futures data

For options, including in the CME and OPRA datasets, the existing mbp-1 schema can have significant record volume despite the instruments being extremely illiquid. In practice, there are several orders of magnitude more mbp-1 records than trades, which is unwieldy to work with. Many services offer BBO summaries at a fixed interval, such as 1 or 10 minutes. This would be similar to the ohlcv-1m schema, but include BBO information that is present in mbp-1 and tbbo instead of only containing trades. This would be a new schema (or set of schemas). What kind of information would you like to see in the MBP-1 summary message? Edit: Adding a few keywords here to facilitate search—subsampled BBO, subsampled MBP-1, MBP-1 snapshots.

Add a schema for calculated metrics like options greeks, e.g. implied volatility, delta, etc.

This would allow a user to get the latest published value of any given schema, within the boundaries allowed by licensing/entitlements/historical embargo window. Likely endpoint names for this would be either timeseries.get_last or timeseries.get_snapshot. The main benefit of this would be to support ticker tape-type use cases, especially when we've enabled entitlements to intraday data through the HTTP API.

Everyday the CME publishes settlements on all listed options. Included are BBOs/OI/Volume/ etc

I am looking for historical data, specifically for open interest on expired options contracts. Here is an example of the query I would want to do. I have the options ticker O:AAPL240510C00190000 and I would want to know the open interest on that ticker for 2024-05-09? Also I am using python code. Thank you for your help with this!

Currently, there are several areas where security around our API keys could be hardened. This ticket tracks the scope of 2 specific improvements: The doc site embeds your production API key in all of the examples when you're logged in. (A) Users who are inexperienced with API integrations may not have read the Securing your API keys guide and could quite easily make the mistake of copying and pasting their keys somewhere insecure, e.g. source control, Databento Slack community. (B) Users who are screensharing could accidentally reveal their API keys.The portal API keys page doesn't hide the API keys, so someone who's screensharing could easily reveal their API keys there as well.

Add China Ashare data

I would be nice to have swaps and swaptions data for main currencies but also for EMEA countries.

Dividends, stock splits, mergers, ticker changes, adjusted EOD historical prices.

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)

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.

This client library makes all our historical and live features easier to integrate in C# on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. C# is currently already supported through our HTTP API and Raw TCP protocol, which are both language-agnostic.

This serves as a master list of all other snapshot-like features on our roadmap. The scope of this ticket is potentially very large and ambiguous so we've broken this down into smaller tickets that you can follow separately. (Historical only) https://roadmap.databento.com/b/n0o5prm6/feature-ideas/add-historical-endpoint-for-latest-snapshot-of-any-schema. This would allow a user to get the latest published value of any given schema, within the boundaries allowed by licensing/entitlements/historical embargo window. The main benefit of this is for creating ticker tape or latest quote features, e.g. on a web app, after we start exposing intraday data over the historical/HTTP API (https://roadmap.databento.com/roadmap/expose-intraday-and-current-trading-session-historical-data-over-historical-http-api-and-clients). Likely endpoint names for this would be either timeseries.get_last or timeseries.get_snapshot. (Historical only) https://roadmap.databento.com/b/n0o5prm6/feature-ideas/provide-snapshots-as-of-specified-time-in-historical-api. Likely endpoint names for this would be either timeseries.get_last or timeseries.get_snapshot.(Live only) https://roadmap.databento.com/roadmap/add-periodic-mbo-book-snapshots-to-live-api. This allows a user to get the last published value of any given schema at a specified time. The main benefit of this would be to allow customers to subsample the data on server side and reduce cost, though the benefit is diminished with feature 5 on this list. Note that this would allow a user to emulate (1) relatively well since a user could potentially just pass in their current clock time or some time slightly ahead of the clock time. However, their underlying implementations would be different and (1) and (2) would likely be released separately. Likely endpoint names for this would be either timeseries.get_last_asof or `timeseries. (Live only) https://roadmap.databento.com/b/n0o5prm6/feature-ideas/allow-live-api-clients-to-request-for-mbo-snapshot-recovery. This provides resilience to gaps or data errors originating from Databento side. It could also be used for recovery of book state caused by client-side issues or disconnection, but would be less quick than feature (4) on this list.(Both historical and live) https://roadmap.databento.com/roadmap/fixed-interval-mbp-1-summaries-eg-1-minute-bbo-or-subsampled-bbo. The purpose of this is more to provide customers a convenience over fetching or subscribing MBP-1 and subsampling and forward filling the MBP-1 data themselves, which could be very expensive given the size of MBP-1 data and how the customer has no idea how far to look back for the "last" MBP-1 update prior to the 1 second or 1 minute refresh interval. Some of these are in development, hence the status of this entire ticket, however you should check on each individual one in case the specific feature you're looking for is still in Considering state.
