Endpoint

• CME DataMine URL: https://datamine.new.cmegroup.com/cme/api/v2/download

Examples

• https://datamine.new.cmegroup.com/cme/api/v2/download?fid=20240923-SOFRT_TermRate_Fixings_0_CSV

• https://datamine.new.cmegroup.com/cme/api/v2/download?fid=20240919-LVSTOCK_BOX_BEEF_9_0

File Download API Criteria

S3 Transfer

S3 will continue to be a supported delivery destination and requires slight authorization modifications to continue using this service.

1. From the new DataMine, navigate to Settings > Data Delivery Destinations > Add Delivery Destination to set up a new delivery location.

   Open

   

2. Input the bucket name, optional subfolder name, and optional nickname for the destination. The bucket region must continue to be in AWS US East
   
   

   Open

   

3. Once saved, paste the below policy into the S3 Bucket Policy section of the AWS account to start receiving files.
   Test the configuration by selecting Test Connection to ensure the details are input correctly. Please update the {bucketName} and/or update "*" or {subPath} to reflect the target AWS bucket.

   S3 Policy

   { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AllowForeignS3Access", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": [ "arn:aws:iam::905418243502:role/venus-cmeprod-airflow-ecs-AirflowTaskRoleWithUserSe-VzZmh3EcAysc", "arn:aws:iam::905418243502:role/dhx-managed-s3-access-role-cmeprod" ] }, "Action": [ "s3:ListBucket", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:PutObject" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}/*", "arn:aws:s3:::{bucket_name}" ] } ] }

    
   
   
   

4.  Paste and save the above statement into your bucket policy and save the changes. Set up to transfer data is enabled.

SFTP

SFTP will continue being a supported delivery destination. Authentication can continue to either use Normal Login (CME API ID + CME API Password) or a Key File. The file format remains the same, but the folder organization and paths have some modifications.

Folder structure example:

/Data Category/Dataset/Year/Month/Day/Files

Directory path example:

/TERM_SOFR/TERM_SOFR_DAILY/2025/01/23/SOFRT_TermRate_Fixings_20250123.CSV”

To use the new service, please follow the below prerequisites:

1. Log in to the new CME DataMine site.

2. If normal logon, proceed to testing the SFTP site authentication. If using Key File, follow steps a and b below:

   1. Generate a SFTP public-private key pair using a key pair generator.

   2. Provide the public key to CME Group for entitlement.

For entitling your SFTP Public Key, please provide the file / string to dataplatforms.product@cmegroup.com and expect a 24 hour turnaround time.
