FINRA shows corporate and agency bond trades with price, yield and size, and a BrokerCheck report on each registered brokerage firm. Our FINRA scraper turns both into tables.

You tell us which part of finra.org you need - a list of CUSIPs or TRACE symbols, a whole product type such as corporate and agency bonds or TBA, the short interest table for a set of symbols, or BrokerCheck firm reports by CRD number - and we build the crawlers, run them and repair them when FINRA reworks a page. The data grids load through scripts, so rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling are part of the service rather than something you arrange.
Runs follow the rhythm of each source: daily for bond trades, twice a month for short interest, weekly or on demand for firm records. A project begins with a free assessment of the scope and a sample file, and the field documentation travels with the first delivery.
FINRA's bond pages rest on two identifiers: the nine-character CUSIP, whose first six characters name the issuer, and the symbol FINRA assigns for TRACE trade reporting. Keyed on either, a bond keeps its rows together from one run to the next. What a visitor sees, and what we collect:
FINRA's one-letter codes stay in their own columns with a readable label beside them, so a contra party type of C reads as customer and an S under side reads as sold.
A bond page holds up to three years of intraday trade history, and the Trade Activity views reach back ten years of end-of-day data, so a first run can backfill historical bond prices for a CUSIP list before the daily schedule takes over - far quicker than a bond price lookup one security at a time. Later runs keyed on CUSIP and execution time add the trades that arrive late as as-of reports and apply cancels and corrections, which keeps the price history true to the tape.
Beyond the bonds, FINRA publishes firm records worth joining on the CRD number. A BrokerCheck report shows a firm's legal and doing-business-as names, SEC number, main office, the FINRA office that regulates it, registrations with the SEC, self-regulatory organizations and each state with status and effective date, the types of business it conducts, clearing and introducing arrangements, organization affiliates and disclosure events. Disciplinary Actions Online holds actions from 2005 onward by document type - AWCs (Letters of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent), complaints, NAC and OHO decisions, orders accepting offers of settlement - and Arbitration Awards Online adds awards by forum, document type and panel composition.
Executives, owners who are private persons, individual brokers and named arbitrators are natural persons, so their names stay out by default; firm names, CRD numbers and case IDs stay in.
FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is the self-regulatory organization for member broker-dealers in the United States; the National Association of Securities Dealers was its predecessor. Its website, finra.org, is a regulator's site first, but three parts of it work as data sources in their own right.
FINRA Data is the market-data section of finra.org, its pages grouped as equity, fixed income, options, mutual funds, firm, representative, investor and corporate finance data. The fixed income part draws on TRACE, the system through which firms must report over-the-counter bond trades. It shows executed trades only, never quotes, updates daily, and refreshes the latest sale price between 8:00 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. Eastern. The equity part adds short interest for exchange-listed and OTC stocks, short sale volume, OTC Transparency volume by ATS and by firm, the OTC Equities Daily List and trading halts.
BrokerCheck, at brokercheck.finra.org, holds reports on all current and former registered securities firms, built from the Central Registration Depository (CRD); what firms report usually appears the next business day. Disciplinary Actions Online and Arbitration Awards Online are searchable document collections, the second one including historical awards of the NASD, NYSE, the American Stock Exchange, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the MSRB.

Full plan detailsThe bond tape is why most clients come. TRACE prices are prices at which bonds actually changed hands, with the size band, the side and whether a customer or a dealer stood on the other end - detail a quote screen does not give.
Every row keeps the CUSIP, symbol or CRD number it came from, so it joins the holdings, watch lists and counterparty files you already keep.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Seven US financial data websites worth scraping in 2026 - SEC EDGAR, FINRA, FRED, MarketBeat, Finviz, Benzinga and Seeking Alpha: which are primary sources and which repackage them, the fields each shows, and how to join them on ticker, CIK and CUSIP.
Web scraping automates the extraction and aggregation of financial data, makes it easier to find stocks, and allows you to predict the market based on the information.
Data and analytics are opening the door to uncovering ways to combat financial crime based on smart data. And advanced AI analytics and cognitive techniques, machine learning, and automation will improve the inefficiency of existing investigative processes.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping service: we build, run and maintain the crawlers and deliver the data, so your team works with tables instead of search forms. Regulator sites like FINRA are a regular part of that work - one-letter codes that need labels, trades corrected after the fact, and identifiers such as CUSIP and CRD that tie one source to another. Files arrive as CSV, Excel or JSON, by SFTP or to Amazon S3. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

Yes. The ScrapeIt FINRA API returns CUSIP, trade price, yield, quantity, side and contra party type for each trade, and CRD number, registrations and disclosure events for each firm, as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or a load into your database.
Yes. TRACE trade activity, short interest tables, BrokerCheck firm reports and published disciplinary actions are open to any visitor of finra.org. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on FINRA - and we collect it legally. Individual brokers are not named by default; GDPR governs any personal data we touch.
Yes. Each bond page carries up to three years of intraday trades and the Trade Activity view up to ten years of end-of-day data, so we backfill first and then add new trades daily. As-of reports, cancels and corrections are applied by trade status, so the history matches what FINRA shows today.
Twice a month. Short positions are measured at the mid-month settlement date and at the last settlement date of the month, and FINRA publishes them on the seventh business day after each one. We time the run for publication day, and each row carries the current and previous short position, so the change between cycles comes ready.
Yes. We collect firm reports by name or CRD number, from your list or across a segment, with registrations by regulator and state, types of business, clearing arrangements, organization affiliates and disclosure events. A weekly run shows which firms changed status, added a state or reported a new event.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
