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.

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, 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.
