Transferring Files

After configuring the connection, you may navigate the folder structure to find the files you wish to transfer.

The folder structure is arranged like so:
/Data Category/Dataset/Year/Month/Day/Files

An example of a directory path can be:
/TERM_SOFR/TERM_SOFR_DAILY/2025/01/23/SOFRT_TermRate_Fixings_20250123.CSV

You have the option to navigate to the exact file to download it or to download a batch of files from a given directory. Note that you can only view and transfer historic data you have already purchased based on the entitlements associated with your API key.
