Morningstar Data Services will retire the GET https://www.us-api.morningstar.com/data-service/v1/jobs/{jobId}/data endpoint, which is used to download feeds for files smaller than or equal to 10 MB, on August 25, 2025.

Why is the GET /data endpoint being retired?

• It has a file size limitation of 10 MB.
• For files larger than 10 MB, require an additional step to be downloaded from an FTP folder.

What's the alternative?

We recommend using the GET https://www.us-api.morningstar.com/files/velo/{signed URL} instead. To use this endpoint, please follow these steps:

1. Call the GET https://www.us-api.morningstar.com/data-service/v1/jobs/{jobId}/status endpoint.
2. Once a success status is returned, retrieve the signed URL.
3. Use the the signed URL to download the feed file.

Please note that the signed URL will only be available if the status is "success" and not if it is "running" or "failed."

Benefits of the new endpoint:

• There is no size limitation on feed files, unlike the GET/data endpoint.
• You won't need to navigate to the FTP folder for files larger than 10 MB, as there is no size restriction with this new endpoint.
• You can download your feed file quickly using the signed URL, which will help mitigate issues related to file size limitations and the need to maintain or modify FTP delivery profiles in case there are changes to server, usernames, passwords, and other credentials.
