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:

Notes:

  1. The instrument codes (instrument_code) used must be unique for each instrument.
  2. The apiid associated with your account can be found using the /history/api endpoint.
  3. 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.
