In order to access the production Registration API, API users will need to go through the production provisioning process defined here. As part of this process FINRA will verify that you are a FINRA member firm with an active WebEFT subscription. Contact the WebEFT team at: [email protected] for more information or to verify your subscription.

Yes. However, the FINRA member firm must provision a Firm Credential via the FINRA API Console and provide the credential information to the service provider/vendor.

Yes, we do have a Test Environment available.  FINRA Member Firms or  Non member Organizations who have onboarded to the API can refer to the QA Test Environment documentation to get more information about accessing a test environment with realistic data. 

An API support center is available on the API Developer Center, where you can submit a support request via email. Please review the FAQs on the Support page and on the various Product pages before submitting a support request.

The FINRA API team will do its best to help you overcome any issues getting starting or using  the API platform.

There are four (4) API account or credential types:

FINRA's API Service is a strategic FINRA initiative to support the automation goals of member firms and encourage the innovation opportunities that APIs offer to the broader financial services industry.​

The  API Developer Center is about making it faster and easier for developers to find the information they need to build automated compliance solutions that improve risk management and lower regulatory cost using the FINRA API Platform. Visit our catalog to see which datasets are currently available.

The Equity APIs do not require authentication at this time. Requests to this API will function with or without an Authorization header in the API request.

API users do not need to go through the production provisioning process to access the production Equity datasets.

The key field in the Equity API datasets that allows aggregation of the data is the "summaryTypeCode" field.

The allowed values for this field for ATS data include (weeklysummary dataset):

• ATS_W_SMBL will return trade data aggregated by issue on a weekly basis
• ATS_W_SMBL_FIRM will return trade data aggregated by ATS and issue on a weekly basis
• ATS_W_FIRM will return trade data aggregated by ATS on a weekly basis
• ATS_W_VOL_STATS will return ATS statistics data on a weekly basis

The Registration API allows you to only see data associated with your firm.

If  an API providing inter-firm individual data is an important use case for your firm, or for your customers that are FINRA member firms, we encourage you to submit feedback via the email on the Support page with subject as "API Candidate". Please provide as much detailed information on the use case as possible, including contact information, as this will help us prioritize new API candidates.
