Download center

Overview

You can access and manage all data downloads on the Download center page of your Databento portal. After you submit a download request, we prepare the files on the backend and then save them to the Download center.

You can search for downloads in the Download center search bar. You can search by the following:

• Request timestamp. Search for a specific date range.
• Dataset. Search by dataset.
• Schema. Search by schema.
• Encoding. Search by encoding (DBN, CSV, JSON).

You can filter your search results with the following:

• Request timestamp. Filter by a specific date range.

• Status. Downloads have statuses of either Expired, Processing, Queued, or Ready.

You can also sort by request time and billed size.

Interpreting download statuses

Downloads have the following statuses:

• Queued. We process download requests one by one. When a request has been Queued, it's been placed at the end of the "line" and will be processed.
• Processing. The request is at the front of the "line." We are actively preparing the files on the backend.
• Ready. The request is now a file that's ready for your use.
• Expired. The file has expired and can no longer be downloaded. You need to submit a new download request to access the data. Files expire 30 days after a download request has been submitted.
