Additional Datasets Available via Open API on the HKMA’s Website

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced today that an additional 20 sets of financial data published on the HKMA’s website will be made available via Open Application Programming Interface (API) for free use by the public starting from today.

To facilitate more convenient and efficient retrieval of information and data from the HKMA’s website by the public, as well as to set an example for the banking industry to promote the wide adoption of Open API, the HKMA opened up the first 50 sets of financial data and important information published on its website via API on 23 July 2018.  Starting from today, another 20 sets of financial data, covering statistics related to capital market, economy, banking, monetary system, etc, will be made available via Open API.  The HKMA endeavours to open up the remaining financial data published on its website (about 60 sets in total) via API by mid-2019.
