How the FDIC Bank Crawler Works

1. Configure filters — Pick state, charter class, regulator, asset-size band, and active/historical scope.
2. Hit the BankFind API — The crawler queries banks.data.fdic.gov/api/institutions with your filters and the requested sort order.
3. Paginate — FDIC's API returns up to 10,000 records per query. The crawler pages through until it has maxItems records or the result set ends.
4. Export — Each institution lands as a flat JSON record with profile, address, financials, and a direct profile-page URL.

FAQ

How do I get FDIC bank data without an API key?

FDIC Bank Crawler hits the public banks.data.fdic.gov API, which doesn't require authentication. Configure filters, set maxItems, and run. The actor handles pagination and assembles flat records.

How much does this actor cost to run?

FDIC Bank Crawler uses pay-per-event pricing on the default_2603_basic profile at a 1.0x coefficient. No proxy fees. Pulling all 4,000+ active US banks costs cents in platform fees.

What does charter class mean?

FDIC Bank Crawler returns charter class as a code: N (National Bank), SM (State Member Bank), NM (State Non-Member Bank), SB (State Savings Bank), SA (Savings Association), OI (OTS-Insured Institution). Filter by class with the charterClass input, or keep them all and segment downstream.

Can I get failed or historical institutions?

FDIC Bank Crawler accepts an activeOnly flag. Turn it off and you get historical and failed institutions alongside active ones. Useful for studying merger waves, bank failures during specific years, or building a full sector history.

Does this actor need proxies?

FDIC Bank Crawler runs proxy-free. The FDIC API is open and reliable; the actor paces requests within its published limits.

Why Use FDIC Bank Crawler?

• Authoritative source — Hits the FDIC BankFind Suite API directly. No middleman, no stale exports.
• Filter where it counts — Asset-size band, charter class, regulator, and state all apply server-side, so you don't waste records you can't use.
• Joinable IDs — Returns both FDIC certificate number and Federal Reserve RSSD ID per institution, which lets you join to Y-9C, Call Report, and other Fed datasets without fuzzy name matching.
