MantaRisk API

Data Sources

3min

Introduction

Data sources are a mandatory for MantaRisk to operate. By default, users are provided with the two datasources described below. Connectivity to additional data sources can be implemented on request.

Built-in Data Source

Our built in data source covers over 162,000 instruments in 336 exchanges across the world. We cover the following asset classes:

  • Stocks
  • Forex
  • Crypto
  • ETFs
  • Indices
  • Funds

Bonds are in the development pipeline and the associated risk models should be released in H2 2024.

Price Feed

The Price Feed data source operates differently to the built-in data source in that it allows its user to feed MantaRisk its own instrument and price data.

To use this feature, you will need an API account and an API key - see Getting Started (API) 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.
