The front month and the other dated contracts the platform knows for a root, with the contract month. For equity-index futures settlement_time is the final settlement instant: 09:30 Eastern Time on the third Friday of the contract month (the preceding business day when that is a configured holiday). The front month is resolved by the data feed; it is the contract every route returns when you give a root without a contract. Only contracts the platform captures carry live and retained data.

Example request

curl -sS --get "https://api.ordermap.si/v1/futures/contracts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORDERMAP_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode symbol=ES

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  symbol: "ES",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ordermap.si/v1/futures/contracts?${params}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ORDERMAP_API_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.coverage);

Set ORDERMAP_API_KEY to your key. Replace the dates with a recent trading date.
