Cantor Fitzgerald
Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. is a privately held global financial services firm founded in 1945 by Bernard Gerald Cantor and John Fitzgerald, headquartered in New York with more than 12,000 employees across 60+ offices in 20+ countries. The firm is a U.S. Federal Reserve primary dealer and operates investment banking, fixed-income and equities trading, prime brokerage, commercial real-estate lending (CCRE / Cantor Fitzgerald Income Trust), asset management, a SPAC franchise (Cantor Equity Partners), and corporate-venture investing (Cantor Ventures, Hollywood Stock Exchange). Cantor spun out its voice-brokerage business in 2004 to form BGC Partners (now BGC Group, NASDAQ: BGC), which in turn acquired Newmark in 2011 and spun it out as Newmark Group (NASDAQ: NMRK) in 2017. Long-time chairman/CEO Howard Lutnick became the 41st U.S. Secretary of Commerce on February 18, 2025; his sons Brandon and Kyle Lutnick assumed chairman and executive vice chairman roles, with Pascal Bandelier, Sage Kelly, and Christian Wall serving as co-CEOs. Cantor has no public developer portal — all electronic-trading, market-data, and prime-brokerage connectivity is delivered B2B under institutional client agreements; the closest public data surface is Fenics Market Data, sold by BGC affiliate Fenics under negotiated entitlement.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Cantor Fitzgerald the way a machine reads it — 15 machine-readable artifacts across 9 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 — Cantor Fitzgerald scores 26.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

APIs 9
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.
