Understanding Filing Types

The FinancialReports Standard

Filing classifications and report names often vary significantly across different European jurisdictions, making it difficult to find and compare equivalent documents from different countries.

To solve this, we created the FinancialReports Filing Type Standard, an open classification system designed to harmonize all regulatory disclosures. By mapping thousands of original, country-specific filing names to this single, consistent standard, our API allows you to search for and analyze document types with confidence, regardless of their origin.

Accessing Filing Types via the API

You can retrieve a complete, paginated list of all standardized filing types by making a GET request to the /filing-types/ endpoint. As the standard is refined, this endpoint will always provide the most up-to-date list of available types.

The response for each type includes a unique code, a human-readable name, and a detailed description.
