B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcão)

B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão is the Brazilian exchange and financial market infrastructure operator formed by the 2017 merger of BM&FBOVESPA and Cetip, running trading, clearing, central depository, and OTC registration for equities, derivatives, fixed income, and FX. Its public B3 for Developers portal documents 114 B2B REST APIs (OAuth 2.0 client credentials and ROPC) across investor-area, OTC (Balcão), listed-markets, Tesouro Direto, Banco B3, and insurance domains. Real-time market data is distributed through the UMDF multicast feed (FIX/FAST and Binary SBE, L1/L2) via authorized distributors, and end-of-day plus reference data through the UP2DATA file service (TXT/CSV/JSON/XML via client software or cloud). All API and data access is contract-gated for institutions - B3 explicitly offers no self-serve access for individuals.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcão) the way a machine reads it — 15 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcão) scores 49.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
