The CME Reference Data APIv2 is a set of JSON RESTful web service APIs that provide real-time product and instrument reference data for all CME Group, Hosted Partners and CME Group-cleared markets.
Products contain all available products - BrokerTec, futures, options on futures, spreads and products - on an underlying asset.
Instruments are the individual traded and cleared contracts.
Information includes:
- Contract specifications
- Product codes and symbols for all CME Group venues
- Trade and order type eligibility
- Instrument life cycle dates including first and last trade date, all notice dates, delivery dates and settlement dates.
Client systems can automate their product and instrument definitions by pulling the information from the CME Reference Data APIs, reducing the manual work involved in setting up new products. All customers are strongly encouraged to develop to the CME Reference Data APIs and integrate it into their product definition architecture.
Data will be updated every 15 minutes.
For pre-listed instruments with next day activation, clients should start polling CME Reference Data API version 2 for the instruments after 3:00pm CST
BrokerTec product information is not supported in the Security Definition Flat File (secdef.dat) alongside CME Futures and Options products.

Testing and Certification
Certification is not required for CME Reference Data API version 2.
Restricted Access
CME Reference Data API version 2 uses OAuth, an open protocol that supports secure authorization in a simple, standard method and decouples authentication from authorization.
See: Client API Service Adoption using OAuth 2.0 Protocol
Authorization and Entitlement
A registered OAuth API ID is required to access the CME Reference Data API version 2 services. API IDs for CME Group Logins are created and managed in the Customer Center under My Profile.
New Clients
New clients - should start by Creating a CME Group Login.
- Once a client creates and activates their CME Group Login ID, they can login to Customer Center under My Profile and create an OAuth API ID
Clients with Existing CME Group Logins
- Clients with existing CME Group Login ID can login to Customer Center and under My Profile create an OAuth API ID
- Clients with existing CME Group Login ID and existing Basic Auth API ID can convert the Basic Auth API ID to an OAuth API ID under the API Management section of the CME Group Login under My Profile.
Requesting for Entitlement
Client's API IDs must be entitled and registered by the Enterprise Access and Entitlements (EASE) team to view and consume the BrokerTec content.
- To request access in the New Release environment, complete the CME BrokerTec Reference Data API ID Test Registration - New Release form.
- To request access in the Production environment, complete the CME BrokerTec Reference Data API Registration Form - Production form.
- CME Group requires customers to create unique OAuth API IDs for both the New Release and Production environments.
Default Entitlements
Entitlement registration is not required to access Futures and Options attributes; clients can simply log into the API with their API ID credentials.
Accessing CME Reference Data API Version 2 Endpoints
To access CME Reference Data API version 2 endpoints in the New Release and Production environments, an OAuth API ID and access token are required.
The following endpoints are used by client applications to communicate with the OAuth Authorization Server to request and refresh access tokens.
Client systems are allowed to use any API tool of their choice to request and refresh access tokens to access CME Reference Data API version 2 endpoints using the OAuth protocol.
See Client API Service Adoption using OAuth 2.0 Protocol for an example of using a token.
OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Endpoints Access Token Retrieval Endpoints
The below endpoints are available to request and refresh access tokens in the New Release and Production environments.
| OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Endpoints | ||
|---|---|---|
| Detail | New Release | Production |
| OAuth Token Endpoint | ||
Authorized API ID's may access three endpoints in the New release and Production environments:
New Release Endpoints:
- /v2/products
- /v2/instruments
- /v2/displayGroups
Production Endpoints:
- /v2/products
/v2/instruments
- /v2/displayGroups
Hours of Availability
The CME Reference Data APIs are real-time APIs available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Clients systems should consider all returned data to be accurate as of the time of the request submission. Since the products are updated dynamically, multiple requests may return different results.
There are weekly maintenance periods that occur on Friday from 10:00 pm CT to Saturday 4:00 am CT and Sunday from 11:30 am CT – 11:50 am CT. During these times, data may be unavailable or unreliable.
Returned Attributes
All attributes for a product or instrument are always returned. Attributes that are undefined or have no value for a particular product or instrument will return "null."
Sorted Results
CME Reference Data API does not support sorted results.
Pagination and Scrolling Links
To make responses more manageable, CME Reference Data API returns results in pages or by scrolling.
Pagination
By default, 20 results per page are included, but up to 1000 results per page can be requested by using the size parameter. CME Reference Data API also supports a page parameter to allow clients to jump to a specific page in the result set.
Pagination Links
Name | Description | Additional Details |
|---|---|---|
| self | href URL for the query. | |
| prev | href URL for the previous page of query results. | |
| first | href URL for the first page of query results. | Page=0 is the value for the first page. |
| next | href URL for the next page of query results. | |
| last | href URL for the last page of query result. | The page value on this reference will be one less than the totalPages value. |
Pagination Metadata
Name | Description | Additional Details |
|---|---|---|
| size | Number of results returned per page. | Optional query parameter. The maximum size value is 1000 and the minimum size value is 1. If size is not specified, the default is 20. If size is specified but is less than 1 (e.g., size=0 or size=-9 ), the default of 20 is used. If size is specified but is greater than 1000 (e.g., 2000), 1000 will be used. |
| totalElements | Total number of items returned by the query. | |
| totalPages | Number of pages required to list all items. | Only included when results are paginated. |
| number | Current page number; numbering starts with 0. | |
| type | Describes whether pagination or scrolling is used for the data return. | Will return page for responses with less than 10,000 results; for results greater than 10,000 will return scroll. |
Pagination Metadata Example
These examples are based on a query of all products where size=1000 and page=1:
"_links": {
"first": {
"href": "__/v#/products/?page=0&size=1000"
},
"prev": {
"href": "__/v#/products/?page=0&size=1000"

},
"_metadata": {
"size": 1000,
"totalElements": 3674,
"totalPages": 4,
"number": 1,
"type": "page"
}
}
Scrolling
Scrolling will return 20 products per scroll as a default. Like pagination, the return size can be increased up to 1000.
The scroll link will be valid for 5 seconds.

Collection Header
CME Reference Data API does not support attributes in collection headers.
Errors
CME Reference Data API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success; codes in the 4xx range indicate an error resulting from the query request; and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with the CME Group servers.
Status Code | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 200 | OK
|
| 400 | Request was missing required information or was malformed |
| 403 | Forbidden - returned when the particular HTTPS method is not allowed (e.g., POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE...) |
| 404 | Requested item not found |
| 5xx | There is a server error on the CME Group side |
Searches
CME Reference Data API supports GET requests for all product or instrument records, using the following calls:
- All product records: _/v#/products
- All instrument records: _/v#/instruments
Sending Query Requests
The following request can be made using an OAuth authorized API ID and access token.
Client systems send Query Requests by invoking the HTTPS GET method to a URL of the form: https://{{path}}/v2/products, https://{{path}}/v2/instruments or https://{{path}}/v2/displayGroups
| Environment | Path |
|---|---|
| New Release | api.refdata.nr.cmegroup.com |
| Production | api.refdata.cmegroup.com |
Special Characters
There are certain characters (/ , # , \ , < , >, space) which are reserved and unsafe characters and should not be used in queries and if used should be encoded.
Note the + (plus) is not supported and the ? should be used as a substitute. The ? is one of the wildcard characters currently supported in RD API.
Characters | Encoding |
|---|---|
/ | %2F |
# | %23 |
\ | %5C |
< | %3C |
> | %3E |
space | %20 |
+ | Not supported |
Encoded Examples:
Query | Encoded Query |

Query Searches
Query searches consist of one or more items that include an attribute, operator and value that are implemented as part of an HTTPS GET request. Query attributes are listed below. Only the "=" operator is currently supported. A wildcard "*" can be included in the value to return all products or instruments that match a partial value. Terms can be combined with question mark (?) for the first parameter, and an ampersand (&) for subsequent parameters to return only the results that match ALL of the search terms. Values are case-insensitive.

Record Relationships
Product and instrument records are tied together by the following relationship definitions:
- Product
- Underlying
- Overlying
- Instruments
- BTIC
- TACO
- TAS
- TAM
- Instruments:
- Underlying
- Overlying
- Product
These relationships function differently for different product and instrument types. The links will only appear in the results if applicable; for instance, a BTIC product that doesn't have any related overlying products will not return Overlying→Overlying.
See Query Samples page for examples of record relationships.
