FINRA API Consulting#

My name is Hawk Berry. I am the author and maintainer of finra-py, an open-source Python client library for the FINRA API Platform.

I help member firms and organizations design and implement reliable systems using the FINRA API, including API integrations, Web EFT migrations, regulatory filing workflows, and applications built on FINRA data.

My primary focus is helping smaller firms that need FINRA API expertise but do not have dedicated engineering resources. I also work with financial technology companies, software developers, researchers, academic institutions, media companies, and traders who use FINRA data.

The finra-py library provides a production-ready foundation for working with the FINRA API Platform. It is open source and available under the terms of the LICENSE. For firms and organizations that need assistance beyond the library itself, I provide consulting services tailored to their technical requirements.

How I Can Help#

Typical areas of assistance include:

  • FINRA API integration

  • Web EFT migration

  • Regulatory filing and compliance workflows

  • Data pipelines and database design

  • Reliable retrieval, processing, and storage of large datasets

  • Testing, troubleshooting, error handling, and performance tuning

  • Secure credential management and cloud-based authentication

  • Documentation and knowledge transfer

Typical Engagement#

A typical engagement begins with a short discovery discussion to understand your goals, requirements, and technology stack. From there, I can provide a proposal outlining the scope of work and either an hourly or fixed-price quote.

Contact#

If you are evaluating the FINRA API, planning a Web EFT migration, or building applications using FINRA regulatory or market data, I’d be happy to discuss your project and determine whether I can help.

Please include a brief description of your project, your technology stack, and relevant timelines.

Bug reports and feature requests should be submitted through the finra-py Issues Page on GitHub, rather than by email. Please see Getting Help for troubleshooting guidance.
