Build on United Kingdom filings programmatically.

The FinancialReports API delivers the FCA / LSE / RNS disclosure stream through one REST surface, one x-api-key header, one rate-limit bucket. A UK-only integration is a single-parameter filter (?country=GB) on the global filings endpoint — no separate UK API key, no parallel billing, no per-market segregation.

For trading and research integrations where minute-level latency matters, the webhook channel is the right path: subscribe once, receive a POST with full filing metadata within roughly 60 seconds of RNS / FCA publication. UK throughput is higher than any other European market, so the webhook delivery rate is correspondingly higher — your handler should be tuned for sustained volume during the morning RNS rush (07:00–08:00 London time) when most periodic announcements land. Payload shape is identical across markets, so the same handler ingests UK, French, German, and other filings without country-specific branching.

Filing bodies are available as JSON metadata, Markdown via /api/filings/{id}/markdown/ (the processed text rendered on the public web pages, ready for NLP / LLM ingestion), and original PDF or iXBRL. The Markdown layer is particularly valuable for UK content because RNS announcements vary widely in length and structure — from one-line PDMR transactions to 200-page Premium annual reports — and the processed text normalises that into a consistent, parseable form. iXBRL is preserved for ESEF-mandated annual reports.

Common UK API use cases include backfilling FTSE 100 / 250 consolidated financials for quant research, triggering on ad-hoc disclosures (profit warnings, dividend announcements, takeover-panel announcements), monitoring DTR 5 voting-rights notifications, tracking AIM admission and cancellation events, and feeding RNS announcements into sentiment-and-event LLM pipelines. Trial keys are available on request; the web product is free for public-web reading.
