I am having issues fetching data zips for any market. I get this error:
20180918 14:38:01 Error:: ApiDataProvider.Fetch(): Unable to remotely retrieve data for path ../../../Data/equity\usa\minute\spy\20130102_trade.zip. Please make sure you have the necessary data in your online QuantConnect data library.
20180918 14:38:01 Trace:: ApiDataProvider.Fetch(): Attempting to get data from QuantConnect.com's data library for symbol(SPY), resolution(Minute) and date(03/01/2013).
I have set both:
"data-provider": "QuantConnect.Lean.Engine.DataFeeds.ApiDataProvider",
and
"job-user-id":
"api-access-token":

Welcome, - due to licensing restrictions we only support downloading FX data at this time. It looks like you're attempting to download SPY data which is not possible. If you're just using FX it might be the automated addition of the benchmark which you can change with SetBenchmark command.

Hi Jared Broad , is the data still not available for local Lean? How about running via website IDE?Â
Jared Broad
Could you be more specific Felix? The whole website is for backtesting on the website IDE.

Apologies. Does ApiDataProvider.Fetch() able to pull equity data? Or is it still only support FX data at this time?
Jared Broad
Only FX. Equities data is quite expensive and highly regulated by the exchanges. This will likely never be free on any platform. Delayed live data, or historical daily bars are the only free sources left these days.
