# List Bonds

> Retrieve a paginated list of NGX-listed bonds.

This endpoint returns a paginated list of bonds listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). Each record includes the bond's ISIN, issuer name, bond type, coupon rate, maturity date, and opening price. You can narrow results with optional search and type filters.

Results are sorted by bond type priority (Federal Government bonds first, then state, then corporate), then by maturity date ascending. This endpoint requires a Starter plan or higher.
