Binary API

A binary API is a high-performance connectivity protocol designed to reduce message size and processing overhead. Binary APIs are often used by latency-sensitive trading firms and market data consumers.

Definition and Infrastructure Context

Binary API should be understood in the context of regulated exchange infrastructure, where terminology affects system design, operating rules, market participant workflows and post-trade controls.

ADEX Technology links this definition to relevant exchange technology, clearing, settlement, market infrastructure and operational control pages so institutional readers can understand how the term is used across the infrastructure stack.
