The CME Reference Data APIv3, hosted on Google Cloud (GC) is a set of JSON RESTful web service APIs that provide real-time restricted access to product and instrument referential data using OAuth, an open protocol that supports secure authorization in a simple, standard method and decouples authentication from authorization. CME Reference Data APIv3 provides product and instrument reference data for all CME Group, BrokerTec, EBS, Hosted Partners and CME Group-cleared markets.   

Products contain all available products - BrokerTec, EBS, futures, options on futures, spreads and products - on an underlying asset or related index or related future.

...

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.
