New Dividend Payment Frequency Enhancement
March 19, 2026
Dear Valued Customers,
We would like to inform you of an upcoming enhancement to our xGlobalHistorical and xGlobalCorporateActions API services, effective April 17, 2026.
As part of this update, we will introduce two additional dividend payment frequency values: Bi-Weekly and Bi-Monthly. These frequencies are currently returned as "Other" and will now be provided as distinct values where applicable, improving the accuracy and clarity of dividend payment data.
This enhancement applies to all securities and does not impact existing API functionality or signatures.
The new payment frequency values will be defined as follows:
- Bi-Weekly – Two dividends paid per week
- Bi-Monthly – Two dividends paid per month
These values will be available in the following endpoints:
- GetCashDividendHistory in the xGlobalHistorical API
- GetDistributions in the xGlobalCorporateActions API
If you have any questions regarding this enhancement, please contact us at support@xignite.com.

Fractional Shares Enhancement
February 23, 2026
As part of an industry-wide initiative led by FINRA, U.S. exchanges are enabling the reporting of fractional share quantities for trade messages.
To remain aligned with these exchange reporting standards, we are updating our systems accordingly. We plan to deploy an enhancement to the API services listed below to support fractional share quantities, effective February 23rd, 2026. This will not be a breaking change.
Additional details regarding this enhancement are available on our website:
- API Services: GlobalQuotes, GlobalRealTime, GlobalHistorical
- API Fields: Volume and LastSize only
- Website Link: https://www.quodd.com/fractional-shares
This update reflects the continued growth of fractional share trading, which allows investors to trade less than a full share and has become increasingly common.
If you have any questions regarding this new behavior change, please contact us at support@xignite.com.
