Datasets

Databento provides time series datasets for a variety of markets, sourced from different publishers. Our available datasets can be browsed through the search feature on our site.

Each dataset is assigned a unique string identifier (dataset ID) in the form PUBLISHER.DATASET, such as GLBX.MDP3. For publishers that are also markets, we use standard four-character ISO 10383 Market Identifier Codes (MIC). Otherwise, Databento arbitrarily assigns a four-character identifier for the publisher.

These dataset IDs are also found on the Data catalog and Download request features of the Databento user portal.

When a publisher provides multiple data products with different levels of granularity, Databento subscribes to the most-granular product. We then provide this dataset with alternate schemas to make it easy to work with the level of detail most appropriate for your application.

More information about different types of venues and publishers is available in our FAQs.
