- Python 3.6+
- aiohttp>=3.6.2

API access setup
You need an access key to request for data through Databento. Sign up and you will be automatically assigned your first pair of default access keys. Each access key is a 32 character string that can be found from the web platform.
One of your default keys is a test key. Test keys have the prefix db-test- and let you access our test environment, which provides free, simulated data for validating your integration. All of our services can be tested with test keys.
Your other default key is a production key. Production keys have the prefix db-prod- and are used to access real data. When you sign up, you are also automatically enrolled in our Free Tier, which lets you try some real data for free.
