Configuration
In the root directory of the project there is a settings.json which contains parameters for the program.
cot source: is an array of data sets to download. The array currently is configured for
- Disaggregated Futures and Options
- Traders in Financial Futers
start year: is the first year (oldest) to start archiving data for.
disabled: turns off downloading/archiving of this cot source. This is useful when you want to temporarily disable a source without removing it from the confguration file.
description: this is purely for the end users benefit and serves no purpose for the application.
output file name: this is used to name the database file where the data is archived.
data type: is used to identify the dataset that will be imported. It allows the program to use preconfigured knowledge of the dataset to recognise column headers. Currently two data types are supported:
- DFaO - Disaggregated Futures and Options
- TiFF - Traders in Financial Futures
download: a sub group for dataset download settings.
url: the prefix for the full url link.
file prefix: the prefix to apply for the download file name construction
file suffix: the suffix to apply for the download file name construction
market name filters: are keywords to use to search the market name string. We use keywords in case the market name changes across the years. Market names can be omitted from this list if you have no interest in tracking specific markets.
