BGC is a regulated inter-dealer broker and venue operator. Its "APIs" are session-oriented institutional integrations — FIX 4.4, ITCH/OUCH over SoupBinTCP, proprietary BOP/BIMP binaries, multicast market data, FTP/SFTP/Cloud data drops — distributed to onboarded counterparties under license. There is no public developer portal, no self-service API key, and no public OpenAPI specification across the BGC, FMX, Fenics, Lucera, or Capitalab properties.
This repository documents what exists and is publicly verifiable, including the September 23, 2024 launch of the FMX Futures Exchange (initial SOFR futures, U.S. Treasury futures added Q1 2025) and the Fenics FX ITCH market data specification (publicly downloadable PDF).
