I am new to APIs. What is the best way to get started?
To get started with FINRA's API Platform first familiarize yourself with the content published here on the API Developer Center starting here.
FINRA's API platform is a sophisticated REST based solution with advanced querying capabilities. Becoming familiar with its features will help you build a proper connection to the platform.
Once familiar with the features of the platform, the next step will be to get access to the API Console hosted on FINRA Gateway.
What are the requirements to get access to production registration data?
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.
As a service provider or vendor can I leverage the FINRA APIs on behalf of my customers?
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.
