Introduction

Users that have interacted with Futures trading or market data through our API offerings will be prompted on login to complete the “API User Activity Certification”. As opposed to blocking general API market data, this will specifically effect those that trade Futures through CME to remain in compliance with CME Rule 576.

The API User Activity Certification is assigned to users with US Futures trading permissions and have used the API to submit trades. Task assignment would come the day after a user submits their first API trade with US Futures trading permissions.

If a user is observed trading in a manner that contradicts what was previously listed in the API User Activity Certification, the task will be reassigned to the user to be corrected.
