fsrapiclient 0.1.0

Lightweight Python client library for the UK Financial Services Register (FSR) RESTful API

fsrapiclient

A lightweight Python client library for the UK Financial Services Register (FS Register) RESTful API.

The FS Register is a public database of all firms, individuals and other entities that are currently, or have been previously, authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and/or the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA).

NOTE #1: The FS Register API is free to use but accessing it, including via this library, requires registration. Registration involves signing up with an email, which is used as the API username in requests, and some personal information. Once registered an API key is available from your registration profile - the API key can be used in request headers to programmatically make requests via any suitable language and library of choice.

NOTE #2: The author has no current or previous affiliation with either the FCA or PRA.

The FS Register API

The fsrapiclient functionality reflects the structure and properties of the current FS Register API (V0.1). There are three main categories of resource about which information can be requested from the register via API endpoints:

• firms - authorised firms (either currently or previously authorised)
• individuals - individuals associated or affiliated with authorised firms, either currently or previously
• funds - funds or collective investment schemes (CIS), including subfunds of funds

There is also a common search API endpoint that allows a search for any of these resources by name or namelike-substring and a corresponding type specification (firm, individual, or fund).

These are described in a bit more detail below.

Firms

Firms are identified by unique firm reference numbers (FRN). The following is a table summarising firm-specific API endpoints:

API endpoint	Parameters
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Address	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/AR	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/CF	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/DisciplinaryHistory	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Exclusions	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Individuals	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Names	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Passports	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Passports/{Country}/Permission	FRN (str), Country (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Permissions	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Regulators	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Requirements	FRN (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Requirements/{ReqRef}/InvestmentTypes	FRN (str), Requirement Reference (str)
/V0.1/Firm/{FRN}/Waiver	FRN (str)

NOTE: The abbreviations "CF" and "AR" refer to "controlled functions" and "appointed representatives" respectively.

Individuals

Individuals associated with firms are identified by unique individual reference numbers (IRN). and the following is a table summarising individual-specific API endpoints.

API endpoint	Parameters
/V0.1/Individuals/{IRN}	IRN (str)
/V0.1/Individuals/{IRN}/CF	IRN (str)
/V0.1/Individuals/{IRN}/DisciplinaryHistory	IRN (str)

NOTE: The abbreviation "CF" refers to "controlled functions".

Funds

Funds are identified by unique product reference numbers (PRN). The following is a table summarising fund-specific API endpoints:

API endpoint	Parameters
/V0.1/CIS/{PRN}	PRN (str)
/V0.1/CIS/{PRN}/Names	PRN (str)
/V0.1/CIS/{PRN}/Subfund	PRN (str)

Common Search

The common search API endpoint has the following structure:

/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=<query>&type=<entity type>

where <query> is a substring of the name of a firm, individual or fund, of interest, and <entity type> should indicate whether the query refers to a firm ("firm"), individual ("individual"), or fund ("fund"). For example, here are a few valid common search requests:

/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=Barclays+Bank+plc&type=firm
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=Hastings+Direct&type=firm
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=Natwest&type=firm
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=Mark+Carney&type=individual
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=John+Smith&type=individual
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=Jupiter+Asia+Pacific+Income&type=fund
/V0.1/CommonSearch?q=abrdn+multi-asset+fund&type=fund

Getting Started

Currently, fsrapiclient only uses the requests library (and its dependencies). All you need to get started is a simple pip install:

pip install fsrapiclient

which will install all the dependencies.

Note that you first need to register with the FS Register, and get your API key.

If you're interested in contributing see the contributions guidelines.

Usage

Import the FS Register client fsrapiclient.api.FsrApiClient, and create an instance using the signup email, which is the API username, and the API key:

>>> from fsrapiclient.api import FsrApiClient
>>> client = FsrApiClient(<signup email>, <API key>)
>>> client
<fsrapiclient.api.FsrApiClient at 0x113c10800>

Each client instance maintains its own API session (fsrapiclient.api.FsrApiSession) state:

>>> client.api_session
<fsrapiclient.api.FsrApiSession at 0x113392060>

storing the API username (signup email) and API key. These, and also the API version, are available as properties:

>>> client.api_session.api_username
<signup email>
>>> client.api_session.api_key
<API key>
>>> client.api_version
V0.1

Almost client methods return an fsrapiclient.api.FsrApiResponse object, which has four properties specific to the FS Register API:

• fsr_status - an FS Register-specific status indicator for the request
• fsr_message - an FS Register-specific status message for the request
• fsr_data - the response data
• fsr_resultinfo - pagination information for the response data

Common Search

The common search endpoint can be used via the FsrApiClient.common_search method to make generic queries for firms, individuals, or funds. It requires an URL-encoded string of the form:

q=<query string>&type=<entity type>

Use urlencode.parse.urlencode to do the URL-encoding. Some examples are given below.

from urllib.parse import urlencode
>>> client.common_search(urlencode({'q': 'barclays bank', 'type': 'firm'})).fsr_data
[{'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/Firm/759676',
  'Status': 'Authorised',
  'Reference Number': '759676',
  'Type of business or Individual': 'Firm',
  'Name': 'Barclays Bank UK PLC (Postcode: E14 5HP)'},
 ...
{'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/Firm/122702',
 'Status': 'Authorised',
 'Reference Number': '122702',
 'Type of business or Individual': 'Firm',
 'Name': 'Barclays Bank Plc (Postcode: E14 5HP)'}]
>>> client.common_search(urlencode({'q': 'mark carney', 'type': 'individual'})).fsr_data
[{'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/Individuals/MXC29012',
  'Status': 'Active',
  'Reference Number': 'MXC29012',
  'Type of business or Individual': 'Individual',
  'Name': 'Mark Carney'}] 
>>> client.common_search(urlencode({'q': 'jupiter asia pacific income', 'type': 'fund'}))
[{'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/CIS/635641',
  'Status': 'Recognised',
  'Reference Number': '635641',
  'Type of business or Individual': 'Collective investment scheme',
  'Name': 'Jupiter Asia Pacific Income Fund (IRL)'}]

The response data as stored in the fsr_data property might be non-empty or empty depending on whether the combination of query and entity type is valid, e.g.:

>>> client.common_search(urlencode({'q': 'natwest', 'type': 'individual'})).fsr_data
# Null

Searching for FRNs, IRNs and PRNs

Generally, firm reference numbers (FRN), individual reference numbers (IRN), and product reference numbers (PRN), may not be known in advance. These can be found via the following client search methods:

• search_frn
• search_irn
• search_prn

FRNs, IRNs, and PRNs uniquely identify firms, individuals, and funds, respectively, in the FS Register, whether current or past. The searches can be performed with the relevant method by name - the search is case-insensitive in name, and the more precise the name the more likely is an exact, unique result. Some examples are given below for each type of search, starting with FRNs:

>>> client.search_frn('hiscox insurance company limited')
'113849'

Imprecise names in the search can produce multiple records, and will trigger an fsrapiclient.api.FsrResponseException indicating the problem, e.g.:

>>> client.search_frn('hiscox')
FsrApiResponseException: Multiple firms returned. Firm name needs to be more precise. If you are unsure of the results please use the common search endpoint

In this case the exception was generated because a common search for "hiscox" shows that there are multiple firm entries featuring the name `"Hiscox"``:

>>> client.common_search(urlencode({'q': 'hiscox', 'type': 'firm'})).fsr_data
[{'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/Firm/812274',
  'Status': 'No longer authorised',
  'Reference Number': '812274',
  'Type of business or Individual': 'Firm',
  'Name': 'HISCOX ASSURE'},
...
...
 {'URL': 'https://register.fca.org.uk/services/V0.1/Firm/732312',
  'Status': 'Authorised',
  'Reference Number': '732312',
  'Type of business or Individual': 'Firm',
  'Name': 'Hiscox MGA Ltd (Postcode: EC2N 4BQ)'}]

Searches for non-existent firms will trigger an FsrApiResponseException indicating that no data found in the FS Register for the given name:

>>> client.search_frn('a nonexistent firm')
FsrApiResponseException: No data found in FSR API response. Please check the search parameters and try again.

A few examples are given below of IRN searches.

>>> client.search_irn('mark carney')
'MXC29012'
>>> client.search_irn('mark c')
FsrApiResponseException: Multiple individuals returned. The individual name needs to be more precise. If you are unsure of the results please use the common search endpoint
>>> client.search_irn('a nonexistent individual')
FsrApiResponseException: No data found in FSR API response. Please check the search parameters and try again.

A few examples are given below of PRN searches.

>>> client.search_prn('jupiter asia pacific income')
'635641'
>>> client.search('jupiter asia')
FsrApiResponseException: Multiple funds returned. The fund name needs to be more precise. If you are unsure of the results please use the common search endpoint
>>> client.search_frn('a nonexistent fund')
FsrApiResponseException: No data found in FSR API response. Please check the search parameters and try again.

The breach of SUP 17 related to Barclays failure to submit accurate transaction reports as required in respect of an estimated 57.5 million transactions. Barclays breached Principle 2 by failing to conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence in failing to respond sufficiently to opportunities to review the adequacy of its transaction reporting systems. Barclays breached Principle 3 by failing to take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems, to meet the requirements to submit accurate transaction reports to the FSA",
