Trade Repository APIs

Meaning

Trade Repository APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are standardized software interfaces that provide programmatic access to data submitted to and managed by trade repositories, which serve as centralized databases for recording derivatives transactions. These APIs facilitate the automated reporting, querying, and comprehensive analysis of vast datasets pertaining to both over-the-counter (OTC) and exchange-traded derivatives. They are critical components for ensuring regulatory compliance, enabling systemic risk surveillance, and enhancing market transparency across global financial systems.
