Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for your question.

Free data on Quandl, such as the CHRIS database, may not be bulk downloaded.

If you are looking for a Continuous Futures database that may be bulk downloaded, we do have a premium Continuous Futures database here: https://www.quandl.com/databases/SCF. To learn more about what this database covers, please see: https://www.quandl.com/databases/SCF/documentation. This database is in tables format and uses the tables API. See API usage examples here: https://www.quandl.com/databases/SCF/usage/quickstart/api. See Python usage examples here: https://www.quandl.com/databases/SCF/usage/quickstart/python. If you subscribe to the data, you will be able to bulk download it using Python. The command would be:

quandl.export_table('SCF/PRICES')

I hope this information helps. If you have any other questions, please email us at [email protected].

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks very much - I will ask our team to check our past records of ever enabling bulk download for the CHRIS database.

In any case, we can confirm that it is not currently possible since it is a free database and we do not plan on enabling bulk download for free databases.

You can of course still download data from the CHRIS database, but it will have to be by individual time-series rather than a bulk download of all the time-series in the CHRIS database. See Python examples here: https://www.quandl.com/data/CHRIS-Wiki-Continuous-Futures/usage/quickstart/python.

Kind regards,
Raquel
