Look up FINRA-registered brokers and investment firms by name. Get back registration status, whether they have a disciplinary disclosure on file, and current employment/branch details, straight from FINRA BrokerCheck.
Built for due-diligence checks before hiring a financial advisor, investor protection research, compliance and background-check teams, and journalists covering the wealth-management industry.
Input
{"query": "John Smith","searchType": "individual","state": "NY","maxResults": 10}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
query | string | Name of the single individual or firm to look up. |
searchType | string | "individual" or "firm". |
state | string | Optional two-letter state filter (individual search only). |
queries | array | For looking up several names in one run: { "query", "searchType", "state" }. Ignored if query above is filled in. |
maxResults | integer | Max matches returned per name (default 10). |
Output
{"query": "John Smith","type": "individual","crdNumber": "4346806","name": "JOHN T. SMITH","brokerStatus": "Active","investmentAdviserStatus": "Active","hasDisclosures": false,"registrationCount": 1,"currentEmployments": [{ "firmName": "FIDELITY BROKERAGE SERVICES LLC", "city": "SEATTLE", "state": "WA" }],"profileUrl": "https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/4346806"}
Firm searches return brokerDealerStatus, branchCount, city, and
state instead of employment history.
How it works
Direct calls to the same public search endpoint that powers
brokercheck.finra.org (api.brokercheck.finra.org/search/individual and
/search/firm) — no scraping of rendered pages, no proxy, no key.
Pricing note
Billed per name searched, not per result returned — searching a common name that returns 10 matches costs the same as one that returns 1.
