FDIC Bank Data Scraper

Extract FDIC-insured bank data from the official BankFind Suite API. Institution details, financials, branch locations, failures, and deposit summaries. No API key, no browser, no proxy.

What does FDIC Bank Data Scraper do?

Scrape every FDIC dataset in one actor:

• Institutions — 4,000+ active FDIC-insured banks and thrifts: name, address, assets, deposits, charter type, established date, website, and more.
• Branch locations — every office of every institution: address, coordinates, hours, services, and branch type.
• Financial reports — quarterly financials: assets, deposits, net income, equity, ROA, ROE, and hundreds of regulatory ratios.
• Structure change history — mergers, acquisitions, name changes, and charter changes with effective dates.
• Failed banks — 4,100+ failures since 1934 with failure date, resolution type, and acquiring institution.
• Historical summary — aggregate financial and structure data subtotaled by year.
• Summary of Deposits — deposit totals by branch, updated annually.
• Demographics — institution demographic data.

The FDIC's BankFind Suite API is free, public, and requires no API key. It covers every FDIC-insured financial institution in the United States.

Technical details

• Official FDIC BankFind Suite API — https://banks.data.fdic.gov/api. Free, public, no API key required.
• Rate limit: 1 request/second. The actor throttles to 1100ms between requests by default and backs off on 429.
• Elasticsearch-style filters — pass exact-match filters as JSON objects, e.g. {"STALP": "TX", "ACTIVE": 1}.
• Fuzzy name search — optional search field for partial name matching.
• Pagination via limit + offset, up to 10,000 records per request.
• No proxy, no browser. Pure JSON REST API.
• 8 datasets in one actor — institutions, locations, financials, history, failures, summary, SOD, demographics.

Known limits

• Rate limit is 1 request/second. For large runs (5,000+ records), expect proportional run time. maxItems: 5000 with 100-record pages takes ~55 requests ≈ 60 seconds.
• ASSET and DEP are in thousands of dollars. A value of 3856789000 means $3.857 trillion. Multiply by 1,000 for actual dollars.
• limit max is 10,000 per request. The actor pages in batches of 100 by default to keep memory low.
• Some modes return very few records. failures has ~4,100 total records spanning 90 years; demographics is updated infrequently.
• No PDF parsing. Financial data comes from the structured API, not the raw call reports.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The FDIC BankFind API is fully public and keyless.

Do I need a proxy? No. Datacenter IPs are accepted.

What's the difference between institutions and locations? institutions is one row per bank (headquarters). locations is one row per branch or office.

How do I find a specific bank? Use search: "Chase" for fuzzy name matching, or filter by CERT with the FDIC certificate number.

How do I export data? After a run, go to Storage → Export as JSON, CSV, Excel.
