All API Credentials are provisioned using the API Console.

The API Console is a FINRA Gateway hosted app that provides a fully automated, self-service API credential management capability to FINRA’s API customers.

All API fees are invoiced using FINRA's E-Bill service. E-Bill is accessed via FINRA Gateway.

The Super Account Administrator (SAA) at each firm, or an AA at each organization, can assign entitlement to E-Bill for employees.

Contact your SAA or AA to request access to E-Bill.

Each Firm and Organization API Credential provisioned with the API Console has a 10GB data usage allocation per month. When this 10GB allocation is exceeded a data overage fee of $250 per additional 10GB used during the month will be charged.

Public and Test API Credentials are also limited to 10GB of data usage per month. However, when this limit is exceeded for these Credential Types, the credential is made inactive until the first day of the following month.

The fee charged for access to the FINRA API platform is made up of two components:

  1. A monthly API Connection fee when a Firm or Organization API Credential is created. This fee is charged once per API customer organization and NOT for each API credential created.
  2. A monthly data overage fee when the data usage associated with an API Credential exceeds 10 GB in a month.

There are three (3) production API Credential Types available:

All API Platform fees are incurred on a monthly basis. The monthly fee is prorated when an API Credential is created on other than the first day of a month. So for example, if an API Credential was created on 1/18/2022 the fee will include 13 days (through and including 1/31/2022) or 43% of the full monthly fee for the credential.
