# Kraken Futures

Kraken Futures historical market data details - available instruments, data coverage and data collection specifics

Kraken Futures historical data for **all its instruments** is available since **2019-03-30**.

Options (`OF_` symbols) are available since **2026-09-29**. Kraken Futures options trade only through RFQ, so their data consists of option tickers (mark price, implied volatility and greeks) and RFQ trades, with no public order book or best bid and ask.

### Downloadable **CSV** files

Historical CSV datasets for the first day of each month are **available to download without a Data API key**. See [downloadable CSV files documentation](/downloadable-csv-files/overview.md).

### API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Kraken Futures WebSocket API with addition of local timestamps. If you'd like to work with **normalized data format** instead (same format for each exchange) see [downloadable CSV files](/downloadable-csv-files/overview.md) or official [client libs](/api/quickstart.md) that perform data normalization client-side.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
# pip install tardis-dev
import asyncio
from tardis_dev import Channel, replay

async def main():
    async for local_timestamp, message in replay(
        exchange="cryptofacilities",
        from_date="2024-01-01",
        to_date="2024-01-02",
        filters=[Channel(name="book", symbols=["PI_XBTUSD"])],
        api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    ):
        # messages as provided by Kraken Futures real-time stream
        print(message)

asyncio.run(main())
```

See [Python client docs](/python-client/quickstart.md).
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Node.js" %}

```javascript
// npm install tardis-dev
import { replay } from 'tardis-dev';

const messages = replay({
  exchange: 'cryptofacilities',
  from: '2024-01-01',
  to: '2024-01-02',
  filters: [{ channel: 'book', symbols: ['PI_XBTUSD'] }],
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});

// messages as provided by Kraken Futures real-time stream
for await (const { localTimestamp, message } of messages) {
  console.log(localTimestamp, message);
}
```

See [Node.js client docs](/node-client/quickstart.md).

```

[Tardis-machine](/tardis-machine/quickstart.md) is a locally runnable server that exposes API allowing efficiently requesting historical market data for whole time periods in contrast to [HTTP API](/api/http-api-reference.md) that provides data only in minute by minute slices.

See [tardis-machine](/tardis-machine/quickstart.md) docs.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.tardis.dev/historical-data-details/cryptofacilities.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
