FCA launches the FCA Handbook API
The FCA has published a blog, by its Head of Cross-cutting Policy & Strategy, Alex Smith, which announces that access to FCA Handbook data is now available directly through the FCA’s new application programming interface (API). The blog states ‘real-world benefits’ include:
- Real-time rule mapping: The data from the API may help firms map rules to products, activities and customer journeys, making changes easier to assess.
- Keeping track of rule changes: Having access to current and future versions of Handbook content may help firms to track, compare and flag rule updates so that they can respond more quickly.
- Better RegTech products: Give providers authoritative Handbook data to build more efficient and consistent compliance tools.
- Supporting AI solutions: Provide trusted, up-to-date data to support more useful, accurate and transparent AI tools.
