Schemas & data dictionary

A reference dictionary for candidate Developer API datasets, separate from bounded Web Lite projections and internal Desktop transport.

Terminology

What's a schema?

A schema describes a possible licensed dataset record layout, from individual orders (L3) to aggregates (L0). This catalog does not grant access, promise availability or define a public endpoint. Developer access requires separate authentication, quotas, source and export rights, licensing and commercial terms.

  • L2L2 — Aggregated depth (market by price)
