Bug Fix

Official Close Price Timing Fixed for Business Products

We've resolved an issue where certain stocks business products weren't receiving official close prices at the correct time. Previously, aggregates that should have included the official close price 15 minutes after market close were delayed until midnight. All products now correctly receive official close prices at the appropriate time based on their plan permissions.

Enhanced Plan Details in Documentation

We've significantly expanded the plan information shown in our documentation to help you make more informed decisions. Each plan now displays comprehensive details including data access permissions, data recency, historical coverage, and update frequencies for every dataset. This enhanced transparency makes it easier to understand exactly what's included with each plan.

Snapshot v3 Options Contract Fixes

We've fixed an issue in our Snapshot v3 endpoint that, in certain cases, prevented underlying_asset.price and break_even_price from being returned for options contracts.

These fields are now consistently populated for options tickers. underlying_asset.price will reflect your plan's data for the underlying stock or index.

New Inflation Expectations Endpoint

We've added a new REST endpoint for inflation expectations, showing how markets and models anticipate inflation across different time horizons. It complements our recently released inflation endpoint, which provides historical actuals.

Use it to track inflation sentiment, compare near-term and long-term outlooks, and support macroeconomic or fixed-income analysis.

Going forward, you can expect updates on what's new, what's fixed, and what's being replaced with something better.

Check back as often as you'd like, but if you ever wonder “Was this always here?”, the answer now lives here.

JS Client Major Version and JVM Major Version Beta

We've released a major version update to our Javascript/Typescript client library, as well as a beta branch for our JVM Client.

Both of these releases leverage code-gen to automatically update the client from our OpenAPI spec whenever our API changes. The goal of these updates is to improve the developer experience by ensuring that the library is always in sync with the API.

You can find the latest versions of our client libraries, as well as examples to get up and running on our GitHub.

Futures Beta Launch

The Futures Beta is now live for early testers. We're rolling out access in batches to users who requested it over the last few months. Those accepted into the beta will have access to a new tab in the dashboard to leave feedback and report issues.

Including real-time futures data from CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX on our platform is part of our mission to modernize the infrastructure that powers financial markets.

If you didn't request access but are interested in trying it out, go to the futures page to be added to the waitlist.

  • Logos are now consistently returned from the Ticker Overview endpoint
  • We've corrected some historical tickers which used inconsistent symbology such as BRK/A rather than our standard BRK.A symbology
  • Indices and FX tickers now support filtering by the active attribute
  • We've made coverage for FX tickers more reliable

Sunsetting Launchpad Products

In 2022, we introduced a set of products aimed at making market data simpler and more accessible for businesses. As demand grew and the concept matured, we expanded on these ideas and developed them into our foundational business plans. These plans preserve the same ease of access while offering greater flexibility for more advanced use cases.

In early 2024, we began migrating users from Launchpad to these new business plans. Today, we're officially retiring Launchpad.

To the businesses who joined us early on this journey: thank you for taking the leap into new territory with us, and we look forward to continuning to evolve in new directions together.

Business Section Redesign

We've launched a new business-focused section of the site with clearer content on our plans and pricing. Nearly two years ago, we introduced Stocks for Business and Options for Business, plans designed to give companies immediate access to market data without needing exchange approval. They combine the most comprehensive sources available outside the scope of exchange licensing. For teams that do need exchange-licensed data, we offer expansions that layer those datasets onto the core plans. The new section helps clarify how these options work and what they cost. You can explore them under the "Business" menu in the main navigation.
