IEX TOPS

Dataset ID: IEXG.TOPS

IEX disseminates top-of-book and trade information for its US equities exchange through their IEX TOPS feed over the IEX-TP v1 protocol, which Databento receives over UDP multicast in our NY4 data center.

PDF specifications are available through IEX's website for IEX TOPS and IEX-TP v1.

Timestamps

IEX TOPS messages received by Databento will generally include two timestamps with nanosecond precision. As with all of our datasets, we also collect a ts_recv timestamp when the packet was received by our capture server.

Databento Field IEX Field Description
ts_recv N/A The capture-server-received timestamp.
ts_event Timestamp (TOPS) The matching-engine-received timestamp.
ts_in_delta Send Time (TP) The matching-engine-sending timestamp.

More details about our timestamps are available in our timestamping guide.
