API Enterprise

The ORTEX bond master: one row per bond, tied to its issuer and, where ORTEX covers the issuer's shares, to the same ortexCid our equity endpoints use. Each row carries the bond's terms, its current credit ratings, Eurosystem collateral eligibility, and the latest day of securities lending on it.

Terms are resolved from several sources, strongest first: the bond's own offering document (read by rules and by a model, and stored only where the quoted text is in the document and the two readings agree), national official databases, ESMA FIRDS, the issuer's offering announcement, and the security record. fieldSources names the source of every resolved term, so you can see why a value is what it is.

Lending is from the securities lending market data ORTEX receives daily. A balance on loan is not the same as a short position: much bond borrowing finances dealer inventory. isSpecial marks bonds whose loan fee is in the top 5% of the day's bonds while at least half of the lendable supply is out, the combination research finds informative.

Built for enterprise consumers: page through a region once, then pull incrementally with since, feeding back the largest updatedAt you hold. CSV downloads return every matching row in one file, so they require ortex_cid or since; use the bulk files for a full-universe copy. The response is uncharged (no credits).
