How to find your FINRA API credentials

1. Log in to the FINRA gateway

• Go to the FINRA Gateway using your FINRA credentials.

2. Access the API console app

• Look for the API Console app within FINRA Gateway.

• If you don't see it, ask your firm’s Super Account Administrator (SAA) to assign you the API Console entitlement.

3. Go to "My Credentials" tab

• In the API Console, select the My Credentials tab.

• This is where your provisioned API credentials are listed.

• If you’re new, the list may be empty.

4. Create or view API credentials

• To generate a new credential, click the ADD API CREDENTIAL button.

• Fill out the credential details form and agree to the FINRA API Terms of Service.

• Click CREATE to submit your request.

• New credentials will appear in the My Credentials tab.

5. Activate your API credential

• After creation, you'll get an email titled "FINRA API Developer Center – Action Required".

• Click the Create API Client Secret link in the email.

• On the reset password page, enter your API Client ID and the password you selected (API Client Secret).

6. Use your credentials

• You'll now see your activated API credential in the My Credentials tab.

• Your credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) are encrypted, stored securely, and used only for FINRA-related data synchronization.

7. Connect your FINRA credentials with Hadrius

• When prompted to "Automate Your Setup by Connecting to FINRA", fill in the connection form:

• FINRA account ID:

  • API key: Enter your API Client ID from step 6

  • API secret: Enter your API Client Secret from step 5

  • Credential expiry date: Set the expiration date for your credentials

• Click "Where do I find my API credentials?" if you need to reference the previous steps

• Click  to verify your credentials work correctly

After this step, you'll see your FINRA Firm Details populated on Hadrius.
