Hello.

I saw in past release notes that you guys support historical futures data. However, when I look at the Java sample code and the API docs, I don't see clearly where I can submit queries for historical data. Do you guys support this and if so what API call(s) do I need to make in order to query this data?

Thanks!

There are no specific API calls for a historical futures contract. Just access them like any other historical data request using the original symbol such as @ESZ13. Be sure to make sure your filters accommodate the timeframe you expect to receive though. If you are looking for data from 2013 and only ask for the past 90 days, you will get no results as the server interprets a request 90 days back as 90 calendar days from current.
