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). Keywords: Market calendar, trading holidays.

Expose metadata of every underlying leg in multi-leg futures and options
Currently, multi-leg products (spreads, strategies, combos) on CME/ICE are hard to use because our instrument definitions do not provide metadata about each underlying leg. The user has to infer the legs from the symbol. This is a form of lossy normalization, since CME/ICE does provide this in their security definitions in a repeating group, but our fixed instrument definition schemas are forced to discard thisβthey only provide the the instrument_id of the first underlying instrument through underlying_id. In the meantime, our recommendation to users is to either infer this from the symbol OR download the raw security/instrument definitions from the exchange (e.g. CME's is free on their FTP) OR get a pcap subscription from us. If you need historical secdefs copied from CME (since their FTP site only gives 1 day history), we can provide a courtesy backfill of these for a fixed cost.

GEX/DEX and Options flow
I request Databento to provide GEX/DEX and Options flow data. Moreover, not many offer GEX/DEX data at this time. Please let me know if you want me to be a beta tester for GEX/DEX and Options flow.

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.

CFE Book Depth
Full depth of book feed for Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE). CFE contains volatility futures and corporate bond index futures, such as VIX futures (VX, VXM).

Eurex EOBI dataset
Data for Eurex, including all schemas (MBO, MBP, ohlcv, etc.).

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.

Parquet encoding
Support Parquet as a form of encoding, aside from dbn, CSV and JSON.

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.

Provide snapshots for historical and live data
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.
