# US Futures Trade and Quote Minute Bar

`GET /v1/data/us-futures/taq-1min/{identifier}`

The U.S. Futures Trade and Quote Minute Bar dataset provides one-minute aggregated, event-based bar derived from intraday trade and quote (TAQ) activity for CME-listed futures contracts. Each one-minute interval contains 50+ analytical and statistical fields, including Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values calculated using both trade executions and quote updates. In addition to standard OHLC measures, the dataset includes VWAP, minimum and maximum bid-ask spreads, and buy- and sell-side aggressor trade counts, enabling detailed analysis of liquidity, order-flow imbalance, and short-horizon futures market behavior. The dataset is constructed from consolidated futures TAQ data and is designed to support intraday futures analytics, execution research, and quantitative modeling, where both trade activity and quote dynamics are required at minute resolution.

 For more details, please refer to the dataset documentation: [US Futures Trade and Quote Minute Bar Guide](https://us-futures-market-data-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/algoseek.US.Futures.TAQ.Minute.Bars.pdf).
