You can get full information regarding the change by calling related Query API dataset using the details provided by the Notification API.
I am an affiliate firm, do I have to pay to use Firm Credential?
Affiliated firms are not charged a separate credential fee as long as a parent org has a PAID (Firm) credential. Affiliated firms are however, responsible to monitor their data usage and will be charged for any overages incurred. To learn more about the FINRA API Affiliate program, click here.
Please note that participation in the affiliate billing program is not automatic. Firm must proactively request to participate and any API invoices generated prior to FINRA receiving the firm's request will be valid.
