  1. Trading calendar information

    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)

  6. Add dark mode

    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.

  9. Real-time and historical index data

    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.

  12. Consolidated US equities data

    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.

  13. Official C# client library

    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.

    For ICE US futures including US softs and financials, such as cocoa, cotton, sugar, frozen orange juice, canola, world cotton, US grains, precious metals, MSCI indices, all currency pairs, and US Dollar Index. This was previously tied to this ticket for ICE Futures Europe and ICE Endex. However, we've decided to release ICE Futures Europe and Endex first separately from ICE US.

  15. Fixed-interval MBP-1 summaries (e.g. "1 minute BBO" or "subsampled BBO")

    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. We're introducing a new schema to resolve this. BBO on interval (bbo-1s, bbo-1m) will provide the last best bid, best offer, and sale at 1-second or 1-minute intervals. This is different from BBO on trade (tbbo), which is a subset of our MBP-1 schema and provides every trade event alongside the BBO immediately before the effect of each trade. The main distinction is that TBBO is captured in trade space, while BBO is captured in time space. Learn more in our MBP-1 vs. TBBO vs. BBO schemas guide. Update: The BBO schema will be supported for all symbols on all datasets, not only options. This description focuses on options as that's where the benefit would be maximized (since options have much larger order-to-trade ratios). We'll roll this out for CME first, followed by equities and ICE, and then OPRA.
