  1. 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.

  2. Example Liquidity Heatmap on MBO Data in Python

    Documentation for how to use the the order book from MBO data for visualizing the evolution of limit order book over time as heatmap. For instance every 10 seconds a snapshoot of the order book of historical 6E futures data is taken. Now a heatmap (exp.: Seaborn) is generated, showing price levels on y axis and timeincrements of 10 seconds on the x axis. The color intensity of the boxes depends on the size of the limitorders. Maybe this idea is an good example for implementing the heatmap with json, d3, ...

  4. General market data analytics

    As a future offering, for the summarized ohlc (1s, 1m 1h etc) data, would it be possible to provide some or all of the following components: VWAP TOB spread stats (mean and stddev, min, max) Total volume on bid and ask sides at end of period (total_bid total_ask) Number of trades within the period Trade size stats (mean, stddev, min, max, percentiles if possible) Number of quote updates for each side Number of up vs down tick trades (and up vs down tick volume) Note: These probably should not be part of the ohlc data, but could be part of another data set offering.

  5. Future Options historical data

    hello? Do you offer future options historical data? I am interested in ZF. Thanks, Nick

  6. 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)

  7. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

    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.
