🏦 Bank & Financial Institution Lookup Scraper

🚀 All-in-one bundle: queries 4 sources in one run. FFIEC/FDIC banks, NYSE listings, Euronext equities, CFTC COT reports.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-27 · 📊 10 fields per record · 4 financial directories · US + Europe coverage

Bank & Financial Institution Lookup Scraper is a single combo Actor that queries four authoritative financial directories in parallel and returns one unified dataset. Each record is tagged with its source so analysts, journalists and fintech builders can sweep banks, listed equities, and commodity positioning in one run.

The bundle covers the FDIC institutions API (active US banks via FFIEC data), the NYSE listings directory, Euronext live equities across Paris/Amsterdam/Brussels/Lisbon, and the CFTC Commitments of Traders public reporting feed.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Financial analysts	Cross-market reference data
Fintech and KYB	Bank and ticker enrichment
Journalists	Tracking listings and positioning
Data engineers	Building reference tables

📋 What this Scraper does

• Calls the FDIC institutions API for active US banks (name, CERT, class, city, state, assets).
• POSTs the NYSE quotes filter endpoint for equity listings (ticker, name, MIC code).
• POSTs Euronext's stocks data endpoint for equities across XPAR, XAMS, XBRU, XLIS.
• GETs the CFTC Socrata endpoint for COT report rows (open interest, long/short positions).
• Normalizes into one schema with source, name, ticker, id, country, exchange, category, url.

💡 Why it matters: one Actor, four sources, one schema - perfect for KYB pipelines and cross-market dashboards.
