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

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced today that additional 60 sets of financial data published on the HKMA’s website are 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 has been opening up financial data and important information published on its website via API by phases since July 2018.  Following the opening up of 70 datasets earlier, the HKMA today opens up another 60 sets of financial data, covering statistics related to banking, monetary system, debt securities, etc.  This brings the total sets of APIs available on the HKMA’s website to 130 as originally planned.

The HKMA will review the coverage of APIs on its website from time to time, and will launch more APIs in the future where appropriate.
