Providing you have suitable [access control permissions](/v1/docs/identity-management-and-access-control-iam), you can upload an object to the LUSID Complex Market Data Store, for example a discount factor curve encapsulating the idea that money today is not worth the same as money in the future. [See the different categories of complex market data](/v1/docs/categories-of-complex-market-data). > **Note**: Choices you make when uploading market data impact the composition of the [recipe](/v1/docs/what-is-a-recipe) you must create in order to use this data in a valuation. - Method 1: [Using the LUSID API](/v1/docs/how-do-i-upload-an-object-to-the-complex-market-data-store#using-the-lusid-api) - Method 2: Using the LUSID web app (coming soon) - Method 3: Using Luminesce (coming soon) ## Using the LUSID API You can upload up to 2000 complex market data objects in a single request: 1. [Obtain an API access token](/v1/docs/how-do-i-obtain-and-use-a-short-lived-api-access-token-from-okta). 2. Call the [UpsertComplexMarketData](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api#operation/UpsertComplexMarketData) API, encapsulating all the objects in the request in a single `scope` (namespace). [**Match this using the dataScope field in a recipe**](/v1/docs/recipes-locating-market-data#summary-of-fields-in-a-market-data-rule). 3. For each object in the request, specify: - An ephemeral ID, to track errors in the response. - A market data ID, comprising: - A `provider` representing a [financial data vendor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_data_vendor). Valid providers are currently `Bloomberg`, `DataScope` (for Refinitiv), `SIX`, `FactSet`, `TraderMade`, `Edi`, `Rimes`, `Lusid` and `Client`; if your data vendor isn't listed, you can represent it using `Lusid`. [**Match this using the supplier field in a recipe**](/v1/docs/recipes-locating-market-data#summary-of-fields-in-a-market-data-rule). - Optionally, a `priceSource` indicating a sub-supplier to the financial data vendor (above), for example Tradeweb or RRPS for Refinitiv DataScope. If specified, [**match this using the priceSource field in a recipe**](/v1/docs/recipes-locating-market-data#summary-of-fields-in-a-market-data-rule). - An `effectiveAt` date from which the object is valid. - A `marketAsset` constituting a name. Note each category of complex market data [has a particular naming syntax](/v1/docs/categories-of-complex-market-data), for example `<Ccy>/<Ccy>OIS` for a discount factor curve. [**Match this using the key field in a recipe**](/v1/docs/recipes-locating-market-data#more-information-on-the-key-field). - A market data type defining the object and its behavior, for example `DiscountFactorCurveData` for a discount factor curve. Each type has different fields; [examine the API reference](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api#operation/UpsertComplexMarketData) and select the appropriate option from the dropdown to see what these are. For information on specifying tenors for objects that require them, see [this article](/v1/docs/specifying-tenors-in-lusid). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d575ad81-c0ed-4980-bbd1-d59ac5c3de82/Images/Documentation/image(188).png) Consider the following example, of a discount factor curve and a FX forward pips curve uploaded together to a `Growth` quote scope (in the URL below): ```json curl -X POST "https://.lusid.com/api/api/complexmarketdata/Growth" -H "Authorization: Bearer " -H "Content-Type: application/json-patch+json" -d '{  "ephemeral-id-1": {    "marketDataId": {      "provider": "Lusid",      "effectiveAt": "2021-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",      "marketAsset": "GBP/GBPOIS"    },    "marketData": {      "marketDataType": "DiscountFactorCurveData",      "baseDate": "2021-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",      "dates": [        "2021-02-19T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2021-03-21T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2021-04-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2021-07-19T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2022-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2022-07-21T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2023-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2024-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2025-01-19T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",        "2026-01-19T00:00:00.0000000+00:00"      ],      "discountFactors": [        0.9998,        0.9994,        0.9987,        0.9953,        0.9871,        0.9778,        0.9705,        0.958,        0.9467,        0.9366      ]    }  },  "ephemeral-id-2": {    "marketDataId": {      "provider": "Lusid",      "effectiveAt": "2021-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",      "marketAsset": "EUR/USD/FxFwdCurve"    },    "marketData": {      "marketDataType": "FxForwardTenorPipsCurveData",      "baseDate": "2021-01-20T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",      "domCcy": "EUR",      "fgnCcy": "USD",      "tenors": [        "1D",        "1W",        "2W",        "3W",        "1M",        "2M",        "3M",        "4M",        "5M",        "6M",        "9M",        "1Y",        "15M",        "18M",        "2Y",        "3Y"      ],      "pipRates": [        0.6375,        1.4975,        3.0275,        4.5625,        6.7525,        19.5125,        27.3225,        34.0625,        41.5175,        49.2025,        74.8125,        104.9125,        141.1925,        176.8375,        260.1475,        453.2625      ]    }  } }' ```
