Hi all;
I'm hoping there's a list or table of what all is available somewhere. Because when I go to data | equity | usa | minute | a* | aaabb I can then open a zip file such as 19980928_trade.zip which I assume is trades for that day. Of something…
Because it's just numbers. No idea what each column is, and not idea what each row is. Maybe some ordering of OHLCV minute by minute for some stock.
- Is there a listing of the data available? Because going through these one by one would take forever.
- And for each, is there a listing of exactly what the data contains?
thanks - dave

Hi David,
These files are not for human consumption.
First column: offset in ms from the start of the day (00:00) in the filename.
Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth: OHLCV.
I have never seen a catalog. This is not meant to be browsed by a human. But the catalog would be a folder structure, essentially.

Hi Fred;
Ok, that makes sense that they are there for the app. But… how can I find what data is available to use? At the level of a dataset? I know it has OHLCV and Morning Star. What else?
thanks - dave

Hi David,
The catalog I know is this:
https://www.quantconnect.com/datasets
I find it relatively complete and helpful.

Hi Fred;
This is weird. I went back to the website and I have no idea how I ended up in data instead of datasets. The datasets link you listed is exactly what I needed and is right there in the menu. Anyways, thanks.
