Fintech & API Integration

BlueGamma's REST API gives fintechs and platforms programmatic access to live forward curves, swap rates, and FX data across 47+ indices and 30+ currencies — plus an MCP server for AI agent integration.

Why Fintechs Need Programmatic Rate Access

If you're building a lending platform, treasury tool, or financial analytics product, you need reliable interest rate data in your stack — not in a spreadsheet. Common use cases:

• Embed live swap rates in client-facing dashboards

• Automate loan pricing with real-time forward curves

• Power hedging recommendation engines with current market data

• Feed financial models with discount factors and zero rates

• Build AI agents that can query rate data autonomously

Quick Start

cURL — Fetch a SOFR Swap Rate

curl -X GET "https://api.bluegamma.io/v1/swap_rate?index=SOFR&start_date=2026-03-02&maturity_date=2031-03-02&fixed_leg_frequency=6M" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Python — Fetch a SOFR Swap Rate

import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.bluegamma.io/v1/swap_rate",
    params={
        "index": "SOFR",
        "start_date": "2026-03-02",
        "maturity_date": "2031-03-02",
        "fixed_leg_frequency": "6M",
    },
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)

data = response.json()
print(f"5Y SOFR swap rate: {data['rate']}")

Rate Limits & Best Practices

BlueGamma enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage. Cache responses where possible and avoid polling for unchanged data. Rate limits & best practices →

MCP Server for AI Agents

BlueGamma provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI agents and LLM-powered tools to query interest rate data directly. If you're building AI-powered financial tools, the MCP server lets your agents fetch curves and swap rates without custom API integration code.
