Free data and licensing

Data licensing

Facts and single-series downloads stay free. Paid work is scale, interpretation and portable artifacts: a custom pull, a backfilled series, a per-firm ledger, or an ongoing feed. Every paid item is quoted by reply within one business day.

What you can pull today, free

The datasets behind the free export page and the macro series behind the liquidity dashboard. First and latest dates, cadence and row counts are read live from the archive.

Archive depth and update times

Two archives run deep. Two are capture-only: the source overwrites its file at each publication and keeps no history, so the archive begins on the day our capture did.

Deep archives

  • LME Inventory 2008-01-02 to 2026-09-03 · 28,396 rows
  • Tanaka retail gold price, Tokyo 1989-01-04 to 2026-09-04 · 27,453 rows

Capture-only archives

  • COMEX delivery notices by clearing firm 2026-01-09 to 2026-09-04 · 6,146 rows
  • COMEX futures open interest 2026-07-31 to 2026-09-04 · 2,742 rows

Every dataset is updated when its source publishes. There is no fixed hour: a worker polls the source and writes the rows once the new file is up.
