CN FR / API · China

Build on China filings programmatically.

A typed REST API over 7,266,636 filings from 5,797 Chinese listed companies - JSON metadata, Markdown body, and original PDF. Webhooks on every new release.

Public-company filings in China are supervised by China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). Reporting follows CAS (Chinese Accounting Standards, substantially converged with IFRS). Filings are most commonly published in Simplified Chinese. Major issuers are listed on SSE Composite, SZSE Component and CSI 300. Calendar year.

Building on Chinese filings programmatically

The FinancialFilings API delivers Chinese regulatory filings - from periodic reports to real-time ad-hoc announcements - through the same unified REST endpoint used across all covered markets. A China-specific integration requires only a ?country=CN filter parameter. The volume characteristics of Chinese disclosure data are worth noting at integration design time: SSE and SZSE combined publish 20,000+ filings per month during reporting season peaks (April annual report deadline, August semi-annual), making China the highest-throughput single-country feed in the platform by a significant margin.

For live pipelines, the webhook subscription delivers Chinese filings within minutes of publication. Chinese market disclosure concentrates in two patterns: periodic reports cluster around CSRC-mandated deadlines (annual reports by April 30, semi-annual by August 31, quarterly within one month of quarter-end), while ad-hoc announcements distribute throughout trading hours (09:30–15:00 CST, UTC+8) and the evening post-close window. The payload structure is identical to all other markets - country, filing_type, and company fields route filings to downstream processors without China-specific parsing logic.

Filing content is available as JSON metadata, Markdown via /api/filings/{id}/markdown/ (extracted from the original Chinese-language PDF), and original PDF for archival. The Markdown extraction is particularly valuable for Chinese filings, where the native PDF format often embeds tables, financial statements, and management discussion in layouts that resist naive text extraction. Common API integrations include CSI 300 / CSI 500 fundamental data pipelines, STAR Market IPO prospectus monitoring, A-share earnings surprise detection from quarterly pre-announcements, cross-referencing A-share and H-share dual-listed disclosures (where the same company files in both markets), and feeding Chinese disclosure text into multilingual LLM extraction workflows.

FAQ - China

Coverage, formats, integration
How do I authenticate API requests for China filings?
Send a single header - `x-api-key: $FR_API_KEY` - on every request. The same key works across all 42 covered markets; there's no per-country key.
What format does the China API return?
Filing metadata is returned as JSON. Full filing bodies are available as Markdown (one endpoint) and original PDF. The same payload shape is used across every covered market.
Do you provide webhooks for new Chinese filings?
Yes. Webhook subscribers receive a POST with full filing metadata within ~60 seconds of the regulator publishing the document.
Is there a rate limit on the Chinese API?
Standard plans are throttled to a generous request budget that suits typical research and dashboards. Bulk and high-throughput plans negotiate higher limits.
Is there a free tier for China data?
The web product (search, browse, single-filing read) is free and indexed for the public web. Programmatic API access is a paid plan; trial keys are available on request.
