SIX Launches SIX Bulk API to Transform Financial Data Management

SIX Bulk API provides easy access to comprehensive datasets, including corporate actions, equity and fixed income reference data, and end-of-day market data, leveraging the global coverage of award-winning financial information from SIX. This API transforms data retrieval efficiency, enabling users to process large volumes of data with ease. The API delivers high-quality, accurate, and reliable financial data, crucial for maintaining professional standards and supporting business growth.

SIX Bulk API is the fastest solution for maintaining security masters and databases. Thanks to its scalable architecture, the easy-to-use Bulk API can feed security masters and databases with millions of instruments in minutes, not hours, ensuring financial professionals always have the most up-to-date data available. This is essential for business-critical functions such as trading, banking, risk management, and compliance.

In today’s financial industry, efficient and fast integration of data is paramount.
With SIX Bulk API, users have access to a request/response API that delivers the SIX data sets in a standard, easy-to-use JSON format for clients to integrate into their data maintenance solutions, making it ideal for managing their security master. It allows for a fast initial load process and seamless delta updates on demand, keeping databases current and responsive without compromising performance. SIX Bulk API can be integrated into a multi-threaded Python or Java application, without the need to download files from an FTP site.

Bearing automation and cost-effectiveness in mind, and without having to rely on traditional file transfer technologies, SIX Bulk API brings an integrated approach to bulk data delivery, resulting in significant cost and time savings.
By making data management more efficient, scalable, and user-friendly, SIX Bulk API boosts overall productivity, speeds up time to market and optimizes Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Therefore, SIX allows users to focus on growing their business.
