That's why people including me like crypto. from what I understand, databento is just aggregating exchange data. They must have some deal for processed data. Their MBO data is not cheap and they don't have much history. I would not trust their bars without a whitepaper documenting how they clean each market.
• Is there a similar source you're aware of, cheap with a clean API? Hated to lose... — I've been happy with Databento as a low-friction way to get market data. I liked it so much, I ported their structs and APIs to Golang. 1 ... Their EQUS Mini dataset is a great way to dip the toe if you want live data without licensing restrictions. Databento's article talks exactly about how it is sourced, but it is not that it is averaged but anonymized, specifically because of the complexities of upstream exchange licensing. 2

External links were grounded in one live web search. Search snippets are leads, not independently scraped page content; rejected links remain available in Review evidence.

Not found on the collected pages: contact and support, legal and privacy, security and compliance. This only means Scout did not find it on the pages it read; it says nothing about the company itself.

Not found in the collected public sources: public roadmap, status page, separate help center or knowledge base.
