HK FR / API · Hong Kong

Build on Hong Kong filings programmatically.

A typed REST API over 1,307,214 filings from 2,106 Hong Kong listed companies — JSON metadata, Markdown body, and original PDF. Webhooks on every new release.

Public-company filings in Hong Kong are supervised by Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Reporting follows HKFRS (substantially aligned with IFRS); IFRS permitted. Filings are most commonly published in English and Traditional Chinese. Major issuers are listed on Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises and Hang Seng Tech. Calendar and March year-ends both common.

Building on Hong Kong filings programmatically

The FinancialReports API delivers HKEX-supervised Hong Kong filings through the same single REST surface, one x-api-key header, and one shared rate-limit bucket used across all covered markets. A Hong Kong-only integration is a one-parameter filter (?country=HK) on the global filings endpoint — no separate regional API key, no per-country billing tier, no segregated infrastructure. The same endpoint that delivers DAX ad-hoc disclosures delivers Hang Seng connected-transaction circulars.

For real-time pipelines the webhook channel is the recommended path: subscribe once, receive a POST with full filing metadata within roughly 60 seconds of HKEX-News publication. The webhook payload shape is identical across all covered markets, so a Hong Kong Chapter 14A circular arrives at your endpoint with the same JSON envelope as a French AMF filing or a German BaFin ad-hoc. Country routing is handled server-side; consumer code stays market-agnostic. Hong Kong throughput spikes in the hours following the HKEX close (16:00 HKT), when the majority of results announcements and post-close circulars are published.

Filing bodies are available as JSON metadata, Markdown via /api/filings/{id}/markdown/, and original PDF. Because HKEX requires dual-language disclosure, both the English and Traditional Chinese versions of each document are indexed and accessible; language filtering is exposed as a query parameter so consumers can pull the English-only stream without a separate normalisation step. The Markdown rendering is particularly useful for connected-transaction circulars, which can be structurally complex multi-hundred-page documents; the processed text extracts the substantive content into a parseable form ready for LLM ingestion or structured information extraction.

Typical API use cases for Hong Kong data include backfilling HSI and HSCEI consolidated financials for cross-border quant research, monitoring Chapter 14A connected-transaction announcements for related-party risk surveillance, triggering on profit warnings and results releases for H-share and red-chip issuers that have no equivalent European-market disclosure obligation, and feeding bilingual English / Traditional Chinese filings into multilingual NLP pipelines. The ability to cover a Tokyo equity alongside a Hong Kong H-share within a single API call — same authentication, same payload shape, same delivery latency — is the core cross-border consistency the platform is built around. Trial keys are available on request.

FAQ — Hong Kong

Coverage, formats, integration
How do I authenticate API requests for Hong Kong filings?
Send a single header — `x-api-key: $FR_API_KEY` — on every request. The same key works across all 42 covered markets; there's no per-country key.
What format does the Hong Kong API return?
Filing metadata is returned as JSON. Full filing bodies are available as Markdown (one endpoint) and original PDF. The same payload shape is used across every covered market.
Do you provide webhooks for new Hong Kong filings?
Yes. Webhook subscribers receive a POST with full filing metadata within ~60 seconds of the regulator publishing the document.
Is there a rate limit on the Hong Kong API?
Standard plans are throttled to a generous request budget that suits typical research and dashboards. Bulk and high-throughput plans negotiate higher limits.
Is there a free tier for Hong Kong data?
The web product (search, browse, single-filing read) is free and indexed for the public web. Programmatic API access is a paid plan; trial keys are available on request.
