What is a valid issue?

Our public issue tracker at issues.databento.com tracks any kind of unexpected behavior. This includes software bugs or problems with data integrity, such as gaps and missing data. It also includes erroneous documentation or unintended behavior on the Databento portal.

If you're just experiencing difficulty understanding a working feature or existing documentation, you may want to contact support instead.

Where should I submit an issue report?

• Always use our public issue tracker at issues.databento.com instead of GitHub issues. We have multiple APIs and client libraries, with support for multiple programming languages and package managers. Some issues involve internal parts of Databento or our main portal that are not open-sourced on GitHub. To make it easy for everyone to find issues in one place, please use this centralized issue tracker instead of GitHub issues.

If you want to track your issue and subscribe to updates for it, use our public issue tracker at issues.databento.com. This typically applies to long-running issues that cannot be resolved immediately, such as data gaps.

• If your issue has the potential to be resolved immediately, contact support. We prioritize chat support tickets equally as issues opened here. However, opening an issue report here has the benefit of making it easier for you to subscribe to updates regarding any long-running issues. Our support team may open a public issue report on this issue tracker, after removing any private details, especially if we think that it affects all users or that it will remain a long-running issue that cannot be resolved immediately.
• If you just need integration or onboarding help, contact support.

• If you prefer to keep the issue details private, contact support. If you believe that reporting an issue will leak proprietary IP or valuable implementation details, contact support instead.
