The CSE began sharing its API five years ago, while the DSE began it recently.
LankaBangla Securities, the top stockbroker, inked the first API sharing deal with both bourses.
UFTCL is the fourth brokerage firm to share CSE's "Millennium Matching Engine's" API.
API sharing will enable stockbrokers to order and trade directly in the bourse's trading platform from their own interface.
Also, the sharing of the APIs by both bourses will enable a broker to serve its clients more efficiently.
The CSE managing director told at the agreement signing event that his office would ink the deal with all interested brokerage firms that have dual membership.
