big xyt

big xyt AG (now branded simply xyt, with big-xyt.com redirecting to xyt.one) is an independent, majority employee-owned market data analytics firm headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It sells tick-data-driven market intelligence covering equities, ETFs, listed derivatives, FX, and fixed income across 120+ venues, processing 12bn+ messages per day with roughly ten years of history at nanosecond precision and market-by-order granularity. Products include the Liquidity Cockpit (market share and liquidity analytics), Transaction Cost Analysis against its SMART benchmark, pre-trade cost modeling, a Datashop of analysis-ready datasets and APIs, and an xyt AI natural-language query layer. Three API products are publicly named - the big xyt API, Liquidity Cockpit API, and TCA API - but their reference documentation sits behind a login at docs.big-xyt.com (HTTP 403 unauthenticated), and access is sales-gated via a book-a-demo motion with no self-serve signup, public pricing, or public OpenAPI.

big xyt publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Financial, Market Data, Tick Data, Trading, and Analytics.

big xyt’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, support, and 7 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/big-xyt: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
