Available Endpoints
Browse the endpoints available for Futures. Each row links to its dedicated documentation, with a short description and the API path.
Market Hours and Timezone
Timestamps in our futures API responses are returned in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Trade, quote, and aggregate (window_start) timestamps are Unix timestamps expressed in nanoseconds since the epoch, while the schedules and market status endpoints return ISO 8601 timestamps in UTC (for example, 2025-03-16T22:00:00+00:00). The session_end_date field on trade, quote, and aggregate records reflects the exchange trading session date, following the convention that a session ending at 5:00 p.m. CT carries that day's date.
The trading hours below are shown in Central Time (CT), the timezone the major U.S. futures exchanges use to publish their schedules. For specific trading hours and daily maintenance periods for each product, please refer to our schedules endpoint for detailed information.

Infrastructure and Reliability
Our platform's robustness begins with our primary data facility at the Equinix Data Center in New Jersey, strategically co-located with the exchanges. This setup allows us to receive data through direct physical connections, significantly reducing latency and enhancing the reliability of the data. Initially established in New Jersey, our infrastructure has expanded to include full redundancy at the ORD11 data center in Chicago. This expansion ensures uninterrupted service and data availability, even under adverse conditions, across multiple geographic locations.
We maintain direct connections to major futures exchanges, such as CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX, to ensure minimal latency and reliable data transmission. Data is sourced directly from proprietary exchange feeds and processed through high-performance systems for near real-time distribution. This robust infrastructure supports a wide range of financial applications, from algorithmic trading to in-depth market research.
Data Flow: From Exchanges to You
Futures data originates directly from the major exchanges where contracts and products are defined and traded. We establish and maintain direct relationships with these exchanges while adhering to licensing requirements to capture every trade, quote, and market event as it occurs.
The raw data is then normalized and enriched through our advanced processing systems, ensuring a complete and accurate view of the U.S. futures market. This structured data flow is delivered to you via our REST APIs, and WebSocket streams, empowering you to make informed decisions with confidence.
Our comprehensive dataset includes data from key U.S. futures exchanges:
