Databento Reference API is one of 7 APIs that [Databento](https://apis.io/providers/databento/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Reference Data, Corporate Actions, Security Master, Financial Data, and Market Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, and an OpenAPI specification.

Reference and non-price data that complements the market data feeds - a security master (instrument definitions and identifiers), corporate actions (splits, dividends, symbol changes, and other events), and adjustment factors for building back-adjusted price series. Served over the same REST HTTP surface as the historical API.
