OpenYield Data Services

Bond market data built for builders.

OpenYield

Mid prices taken from firm bids and offers on the OpenYield order book, each stamped with the time it was seen.

Licensing

Licensed by how you use the data, and by data set and asset class.

Licensee: your firm

Internal use

For your firm's own use. The data stays inside the firm.

Licensee: the builder

Derived data

Build and sell analytics on OpenYield data. The data itself is not passed on.

Licensee: the platform

Redistribution

Show OpenYield data to your clients on your platform, view‑only. No export or resale.

Licensee: each client

Client-licensed access

Your platform connects. Each client uses its own OpenYield license and login.

Rights, scope and pricing are set in a signed agreement with OpenYield. Storage and AI model training are not included unless the agreement says so. Third-party content, such as credit ratings and regulatory trade data, may need its own license. Without a FINRA real-time license, TRACE prints are delayed four hours. Live order book data over FIX is only for ATS subscribers who trade on OpenYield.

For developers and agents

Predictable data your code can trust.

Consistent schemas and a full OpenAPI spec, so a developer or an AI agent can build a working integration quickly.

Exact decimals

Numbers arrive as strings at fixed precision, so nothing drifts in a float. Quoted and calculated prices carry five places, yields six.

"price": "99.00000",
"yield_to_worst": "5.419537"

Null means missing

A side with no order, or a yield that was not reported, comes back as null and never as a misleading zero.

"bid_price": null,
"ask_price": "97.82500"

Clear timestamps

Every price and trade carries its time with a UTC offset, so there is no guessing about time zones.

"as_at": "2025-09-03T13:00:47-04:00"

Point your agent at docs.openyld.com

Every endpoint, parameter and response is documented for people and machines, with the OpenAPI spec ready to download. Signed-in users can also try the data at data.openyld.com.

FAQ

Common questions

Still have one? Email sales@openyld.com.

How do I try it?

Request a free trial. You sign a short evaluation agreement and get live credentials for 10 days, with no commitment. Send us a list of your bonds and we will check coverage with you.

How is it priced?

By monthly license. You choose the data sets (pricing, trade data, analytics or reference) and the asset classes you need, and pay only for those. Email sales@openyld.com for a quote.

Are these evaluated prices?

No. Live and intraday prices are mid prices taken from firm orders on OpenYield's order book, and each one carries the time it was seen. End-of-day prices are closing mids from the same book.

Can I show the data in my app or pass it to clients?

Yes. A redistribution license lets you show OpenYield data to your clients on your platform, view-only, with no export, download or resale. If you sell your own analytics built on our data, that is a derived data license. If your clients hold their own OpenYield licenses, they can connect through your platform with their own logins. Tell us how the data will be used and we will set the terms.

Can I get files instead of an API?

Yes. End-of-day TRACE prints and close prices can arrive as CSV or JSON files over SFTP after the market closes.

Do I need to trade on OpenYield?

No. Data Services is sold by OpenYield, Inc. and is open to firms that do not trade on the ATS. Live order book data over FIX is only for ATS subscribers who trade.

Is TRACE data real-time?

TRACE prints are delayed four hours unless your account has a FINRA real-time license. The TRACE WebSocket stream requires that license.

How much history is there?

Daily prices go back about three months. Trade reports cover the last seven days by default, and more than two years of history is available with a history subscription.

Are there usage limits?

Most list endpoints return up to 500 rows per call, and close prices and bond search return up to 5,000. Security lookups are capped at 5,000 per account per day by default. Contact us if you need more.

Can the Claude Connector trade?

No. It is read-only and cannot place, change or cancel orders. To work with orders through an agent, see the Agentic API.
