Data Sources
Last updated: 2026-01-20
Introduction
Data sources are necessary for MantaRisk to perform analytics. They provide the engine with the reference and pricing data it requires to operate. Our users can:
- Use our built-in data sources which, with the exception of Fixed Income, are all included as part of our standard package;
- Push their own data into our platform and perform analytics on it; and
- Plug external data sources onto our platform (on request).
Built-in Data Sources
Our built-in data source covers over 667,000 instruments in 178 exchanges across the world as well as 900,000 bonds. We cover the following asset classes:
- Stocks
- Forex
- Crypto
- ETFs
- Funds
- Fixed Income (separate fee applies)
- Options / Warrants
- Commodities ETFs/Indices (e.g., DBC, Gold) and futures proxies
- Money Market & Cash
User Data Feed
The User Feed data source operates differently to the built-in data sources in that it allows you to feed MantaRisk your own instrument and price data.
To use this feature, you will need an API account and an API key - see Getting Started for more information.
With that you can start pushing your data into MantaRisk using our /history endpoints:
https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/MantaRisk/REST/0.1
Notes:
- The instrument codes (
instrument_code) used must be unique for each instrument. - The
apiidassociated with your account can be found using the /history/api endpoint. - MantaRisk can provide you a view of what data is already stored using the /history GET endpoint thus enabling you to "top-up" only what is necessary.
