Learn more ->Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the symbols for my Standard plan?
We keep track and count any new symbols when they're requested on our API.
You won't have to decide on these symbols upfront. We reset this each time your subscription renews.
How can I check which symbols have been used and how many are remaining on my Starter plan?
Just ask our support team. We'll give you the list of symbols that you've consumed. We count your symbol use by unique ISIN.
We're in the midst of adding a feature to our portal to show your allocated symbols.
Can I get more than 1,000 symbols on the Starter plan?
Yes, if you need more symbols, contact our support team and we can add more symbols to your plan at $1 per month for each additional symbol.
What happens if I exceed the symbol limit on the Starter plan?
Any API request exceeding the symbol limit will return an authorization error. You can contact our support team and we'll be happy to add more symbols to your plan at $1 per month for each additional symbol. This will be considered a plan upgrade and we'll reset you on a new 12-month term.
Can I upgrade from Starter to Unlimited before my annual subscription has ended?
Yes. You can upgrade from Starter to Unlimited at any time. The remainder of your term on the Starter plan gets terminated and we'll start you on a new 12-month term.
When is data updated or published?
New data and upcoming events are appended 4 times per day, between 4 to 5 AM, 9 to 10 AM, 2 to 3 PM, and 7 to 8 PM London time.
Are there restrictions on the use of the data?
Personal and commercial users can use the data for any internal purpose, including for display and non-display applications. The pricing is the same regardless of the size of your organization or the number of devices using the data. However, external redistribution in files or over API is not allowed.
How is the data sourced?
The data is sourced from our partner EDI and a variety of exchanges like Nasdaq. EDI's technology helps to aggregate over 400 primary sources and exchange data is used as a source of truth on symbol directory, ticker information, and more. We collaborated with our sources to implement a system of point-in-time updates specific to our API. Our data pipelines normalize these sources and implement Databento's symbology system over the data. The data is served directly from Databento's servers.
How does this compare to other sources of corporate actions data?
A few data vendors also use similar sources for raw data to implement their corporate actions offerings. The main differences are: (i) We have a proprietary, point-in-time update system that's tailored to our institutional users and API design patterns. (ii) The API uses Databento's symbology and conventions and is built into our Python client library, which makes it easy to fetch the corporate actions and merge with our price data. (iii) Using Databento means you'll be getting a much larger set of convenience features and receiving support solely from us instead of multiple parties.
It's possible to buy the raw data in flat files at a slightly lower cost and then normalize it yourself, but implementing an API layer over it is usually a significant undertaking, and you'll lose the convenience features that come with Databento.
