Details
- Authentication
- None. Public endpoint.
- Rate limit
- 1200 requests per minute per IP
- Server cache
- 5m
- Edge micro-cache
- 10s
- Update frequency
- CME publishes once per trading day; the collector runs three times per day (04:20, 11:20, 17:20 UTC).
- Window
- Latest CME trade date (`trade_date`).
- Data sources
- CME Group daily volume and open-interest bulletin files; CFTC Commitments of Traders (Traders in Financial Futures, futures only). Collected and stored by CoinBoss (sd_cme_daily, sd_cme_cot_weekly).
- Exchange coverage
- Eight CME products: BTC, MBT, ETH, MET, SOL, MSL, XRP, MXP. Open interest is single-sided, in contracts.
- Units
- Contracts are single-sided. Coin = contracts × contract multiplier (BTC 5, MBT 0.1, ETH 50, MET 0.1, SOL 500, MSL 25, XRP 50,000, MXP 2,500). USD notional = coin × `price`.
- Method
- oi_coin = Σ over products (open interest in contracts × multiplier); oi_usd = oi_coin × price. Volume is total daily volume (electronic, floor and off-exchange).
- Timestamps
- Unix epoch milliseconds (UTC) unless the field description says otherwise
- Response format
- json
- Stability
- Stable
- Available since
- 2026-11-11
Live status
The endpoint reports data quality PARTIAL — Open interest and volume in contracts and in coin are exchange figures. USD notional currently uses a labelled daily reference price (`price_src`) because the official CME settlement price is not collected yet; the gap is listed under `coverage.unavailable` and the response is marked PARTIAL for that reason.

Errors
Failed calls share one shape on every endpoint. The full list is on the errors page. Errors and rate limits →
| Code | HTTP | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| INVALID_PARAM | 400 | A required parameter is missing or a value is not accepted. `param` names the parameter when it is known. | Do not retry unchanged; fix the request. |
| UNAUTHORIZED | 401 | The `CB-API-KEY` header was sent but the key is unknown or revoked. Public data needs no key — drop the header or use a valid key. | Do not retry unchanged. |
| FORBIDDEN | 403 | The route is not part of the public API (internal or account-only). | Do not retry. |
| NOT_FOUND | 404 | Unknown route, or the requested coin / exchange / fund does not exist. | Do not retry; check the path and identifiers against the catalog. |
| RATE_LIMITED | 429 | More requests than the per-minute limit. `Retry-After` gives the seconds to wait. | Wait for `Retry-After`, then retry with backoff. |
| INTERNAL | 500 | Unexpected server error. The message is generic by design; quote `request_id` when reporting it. | Retry once after a few seconds; report it with the request id if it persists. |
| UPSTREAM_FAILED | 503 | The data source behind this endpoint did not answer in time. No stale or substitute numbers are returned in its place. | Retry with backoff; check the status page. |
| UNAVAILABLE | 501 / 503 | The dataset is temporarily not ready (cache warming) or the endpoint has no lawful public source yet. | Retry later; the catalog marks endpoints that are unavailable by design. |
| REQUEST_FAILED | 200 | Some older endpoints answer HTTP 200 with `success: false`. Always check `success`, not only the HTTP status. | Depends on the message; treat as a failed request. |
