Over 60 different types of corporate events are included in this dataset. The corporate actions dataset is the first of several datasets that will be available through our new reference data API.

Great episode! Our CEO Christina Qi joined Michael Watson, Co-Founder of Hedgineer and former Head of Equities Engineering at Citadel, to discuss market data, hedge funds, and more.
Episode 16 of the Hedgineer Podcast with Christina Qi is out now! https://lnkd.in/gE-5zUbt We want to give a quick shout-out to Databento for truly disrupting the data experience of consuming real-time market data within the asset management and hedge fund space. Historically, accessing real-time market data meant turning to Bloomberg, which is not only incredibly expensive but also comes with a cumbersome user experience. Connecting to their APIs and the onboarding process often requires a team effort: a data negotiator for licensing, an engineer to figure out the connections, and an operations person to manage the other two. Databento, however, has done an awesome job of disintermediating this process. They have simplified the entire experience, making it more accessible and efficient. This isn't a sponsored post, just genuine appreciation for the innovation they bring to the table.

Market Microstructure 101: What is a Maker-Taker Rebate Model? The maker-taker rebate model incentivizes market participants to provide liquidity by offering rebates to those who add quotes (makers) and charging fees to those who take quotes (takers). This model creates a more efficient market by encouraging liquidity providers to submit orders, which results in tighter spreads and deeper, more stable quotes. As a result, traders benefit from better execution prices when trading off-exchange.
