Xignite offers several APIs that provide real-time, delayed, and historical fixed income price data for corporate and agency debt bonds. We have recently enhanced our Bond Master API, increasing the coverage from U. S. only to 190+ countries, adding additional bond types to support 2 million active bond issues, and increasing the ease of use of the API with several new endpoints. Because much of the benefits of a reference data service derives from its breadth, depth, and quality of coverage, these enhancements give you with the added peace of mind that comes from knowing securities and holdings can be validated against a more complete universe. 

Unlike other financial data APIs, Xignite’s Bond Master API is cloud-native and offers a robust selection of use-case-based endpoints. These endpoints are ready-to-use pieces of code that developers can easily integrate into their product or app, regardless of type, amount, or frequency of data, without the need for any complex integration logic. And unlike file-based data delivery solutions, the Bond Master API makes on-demand integration into downstream security master or compliance systems frictionless. 

Additional detail on the enhanced Bond Master endpoints:

• The List endpoint for bond type, issuer type, and domicile lets you slice and dice the bond universe differently based on use-case.
• The ScreenBonds endpoint lets you dynamically and easily screen the bond universe by combining criteria based on coupon rate, maturity date, callability, and issue convertibility. 
• The ListBondDataPoints and GetBondDataPoints endpoints let you more easily pick and choose the reference data points you need to integrate into your systems.
• The GetBondDataPoints  end point enables access to additional reference data points without requiring changes to an existing implementation. 

Xignite’s enhanced Bond Master API entirely eliminates the need to painfully maintain an on-site bond security master. The local bond master can be synchronized and accurate by using the Bond Master API as a master reference. You can easily embed bond reference and master information into applications, including spreadsheets, websites, mobile apps by making on-demand calls.
