PrimaryBid Limited

Introduction

First of all, PrimaryBid is a technology platform that allows individual investors fair access to public companies raising capital. The PrimaryBid Connect API is designed to ensure that retail investors transact at the same time and same price as institutional investors’.

The PrimaryBid Developer Portal which is subject to this nomination is a professionally branded version of PrimaryBid’s Connect API documentation. Its goal is to deliver an outstanding developer experience to PrimaryBid’s distribution partners. By providing high-quality documentation, brokers who want to integrate the Connect API can self-serve through a painless experience.

The developer portal is now their go-to interface for accessing technical references, getting-started guides, request and response body formats, and code samples (called “recipes”).

Moreover, the developer portal adds credibility to the PrimaryBid Connect API solution, allowing prospective partners to view, browse, and learn about the functionalities of the API - potentially creating an inbound stream of tech-qualified leads and reducing the time needed for external parties to understand how the API works.
