CME STP and CME STP FIX

CME STP API on Google Cloud - November 3

CME Group is launching CME STP API services on Google Cloud. This API launch will happen in phases.

As part of phase 1, CME STP FIXML service is now available on Google Cloud and clients may target the new service URL.

ENVIRONMENT	CURRENT SERVICE URL	NEW SERVICE URL
Production	https://services.cmegroup.com/cmestp/query	https://posttrade.api.cmegroup.com/cmestp/query

Both service URLs will be available in parallel until close of business Friday, November 1. Effective Sunday, November 3 (trade date Monday, November 4)  current service URL will be decommissioned. During the parallel period, same trade data will be available on both services and clients should take steps to avoid double booking trades within their systems.

With this launch,

• Clients can use their currently entitled API IDs to target new service URLs.
• There are no changes to CME STP FIXML API message specifications.

The new service URL for the New Release is now available for customer testing.

ENVIRONMENT	CURRENT SERVICE URL	NEW SERVICE URL
New Release	https://servicesnr.cmegroup.com/cmestp/query	https://posttrade.api.uat.cmegroup.com/cmestp/query

Clients are highly encouraged to test their CME STP FIXML implementations against the New service URL.

Additional information is available in the client impact assessment.

Launch dates for CME STP FIX API will be announced in future CME STP Notices.
