Download Market Data

There are three versions of Market Data FTP price history files:
One-year, which contain all prices added or changed during the 365 days ending with the
date the file was created. This file may include corrections made during that period to
prices dated before this year.
Five-year, which contain all prices for the 5 years ending December 31 of last year.
These files are rebuilt once a year, in January.
Full, which contain all prices through December 31 of last year. These files are also
rebuilt annually.
If you need price history for an entire data category for more than the most recent 365 days, it
will normally be delivered in two files, the first containing prices through December 31 of last
year, and the second containing prices added or changed this year. Users should make sure to
process the files in order, since a price published before January 1 of this year and then corrected
this year will appear in both files.
Note that for custom data requests for price history other than the 1-year, 5-year and full, data
category level files described above, custom files in this format can be created for the exact
symbols, data categories and date ranges required.

these files are „snapshots‟ of the Platts database at a fixed point in time:
