How to Upload Market Data via API

Market data is relatively easy to get into Molecule. Some of our customers upload market data via API.

API Version 2

As of early 2019, Molecule has a new upload API for market data. For more information, see our API guide here.

API Version 1

Ingredients

You'll need the following:

• A Molecule username/password with permission to upload market data.

• A curves_upload_template.xlsx file filled out with the market data you intend to upload. You can get a sample in the Molecule app, at Market Data > Curves > Download Curves Template.

• cURL (or a similar tool) installed on your machine.

Script

A simple cURL command gets things done. Here's an example:

curl 'https://app.molecule.io/curve_upload_records.json' -v -XPOST -F curve_upload_record\[data_file\]=@/path-to-your-file/curves_upload_template.xlsx -u username:password

Just substitute the following fields:

• path-to-your-file

• username

• password
