}About the theclearinghouse.org API
This API exposes 6 endpoints covering The Clearing House's institutional data, including RTP network participants, CHIPS UID lookups, owner banks, executive leadership, and news. The get_uid_lookup endpoint lets you search CHIPS network participants by name, BIC/SWIFT code, UID number, or LEI, returning structured results with UID, BIC, name, and address fields — useful for correspondent banking research and payment network mapping.
RTP Network Data
get_rtp_participating_financial_institutions returns the full list of institutions enrolled in The Clearing House's RTP network, with each entry providing an institution name and state. The companion endpoint get_rtp_network_info returns an array of text strings containing numeric statistics published on the RTP page, along with the source URL — useful for tracking headline figures like transaction volumes or participant counts over time.
CHIPS UID Lookup
get_uid_lookup accepts a required query string and an optional type parameter constrained to name, bic, uid, or lei. Name searches match participants whose names begin with the query string. BIC searches expect a SWIFT/BIC code. Each result in the results array includes uid, bic, name, and address fields, making it straightforward to resolve a known BIC to a CHIPS UID or vice versa.
Owner Banks, Leadership, and News
get_owner_banks returns an alphabetically sorted list of owner bank names alongside a count. get_leadership_team returns each executive's name and title. get_news fetches the latest press releases and news articles, each with title, link, date, and summary fields. An optional limit parameter on get_news caps the number of articles returned.

Does The Clearing House offer an official developer API?+
What search modes does the CHIPS UID lookup support?+
get_uid_lookup accepts four values for the type parameter: name, bic, uid, and lei. Name searches return participants whose names begin with the query string. BIC searches expect a SWIFT/BIC code. Each result includes uid, bic, name, and address. The type parameter is optional — if omitted, default matching behavior applies.Does the RTP endpoint return detailed per-institution transaction volumes or payment values?+
get_rtp_participating_financial_institutions returns only name and state per institution. get_rtp_network_info returns aggregate text-based statistics from the RTP page, not per-institution breakdowns. Detailed per-institution transaction data is not published by The Clearing House and is not exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add any additional fields that become available on the site.Does `get_news` support filtering by date range or topic?+
limit parameter is supported, which caps the number of articles returned. Date-range filtering and topic filtering are not available. Each article includes title, link, date, and summary. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add date or keyword filtering if needed.
