With years of experience at the world's leading trading firms, our team has integrated hundreds of trading venues and data providers. We know firsthand the massive cost and effort required to bring a new dataset to production.
We set out to fix this, starting with the radical idea that you should only pay for the data that you use. Databento's technology has introduced many industry firsts, including the delivery of full order book feeds over the cloud.
Today, thousands of users—from pre-product startups to investment firms with billions in AUM—trust Databento's APIs for their market data needs.
