Does anyone have a sample code for accessing futures tick data? I know there is an sample code for daily futures prices from Quandl. But I want to access the futures tick data from Algoseek, not the daily prices.
I've tried searching everywhere for answers, but couldn't find any. So I'm trying my luck here. Thanks!

Unlike Quandl, AlgoSeek does not have an API to access its data. In this case, we need to download the acquired data, please checkout our database for more information, and treat it as custom data.
By the way, we are about to release futures support in QuantConnect! You will be able to backtest your futures strategy in our platform.

Hi Alexandre
Excited to hear that futures support is coming soon. Where can we listen/watch to be notified when it is made available?
Thanks

Support for futures and options live trading, data streaming, backtesting is currently being peer-reviewed (Futures and options #668).
As soon as this process is over, we will announce. We are really close!
