Analysis of market trends, instruments, and trading signals
The Financial Analytics API provides comprehensive data analysis and insights for ISA investments and trading behavior. This powerful platform enables financial institutions, advisors, and analysts to access detailed metrics, trends, and recommendations through a simple, consistent REST API.

All API requests require authentication using an API key which should be passed as a query parameter:
GET /isa/summary?api_key=your_api_key
Contact our team to obtain your API key and access credentials.
Our API offers different tiers of access:
All responses are returned in JSON format and follow a consistent structure:
{
"timestamp": "2024-03-20T12:00:00Z",
"data": {
// Response data specific to the endpoint
}
}
The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of requests:
Error responses include detailed information to help troubleshoot the issue:
{
"timestamp": "2024-03-20T12:00:00Z",
"error": "Validation Error",
"detail": "Invalid parameter: start_date must be in DD-MM-YY format"
}
The API uses a semantic versioning system (Major.Minor.Patch). The current version is 2.1.3.
When you exceed your rate limit, the API returns a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code. Implement exponential backoff retry logic to handle these cases gracefully.
Example in Python:
import requests
import time
import random
def make_api_request_with_backoff(url, api_key, max_retries=5):
headers = {"X-API-Key": api_key}
for attempt in range(max_retries):
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
if response.status_code == 429:
if attempt == max_retries - 1:
raise Exception("Rate limit exceeded after maximum retries")
# Get retry time from headers or use exponential backoff
retry_after = int(response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Reset', 1))
# Add jitter to prevent thundering herd
sleep_time = retry_after + (random.random() * 0.5)
print(f"Rate limited. Retrying after {sleep_time:.2f} seconds")
time.sleep(sleep_time)
continue
# Handle other errors
response.raise_for_status()
raise Exception("Request failed after maximum retries")
## Compliance & Certifications

## Incident Response
### Security Incident Process
In the event of a security incident:
1. We will identify and contain the incident
2. We will notify affected clients within 24 hours
3. We will investigate the root cause
4. We will remediate vulnerabilities
5. We will provide post-incident reports to affected clients
### Reporting Security Issues
If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to [security@tfe.ai](mailto:security@tfe.ai).
## Audit & Monitoring
### Request Auditing
All API requests are logged with the following information:
* Timestamp
* Client ID
* IP address
* Requested endpoint
* Response status code
* Request ID (returned in the `X-Request-ID` header)
* Request duration
These logs are used for:
* Security monitoring
* Compliance auditing
* Performance analysis
* Troubleshooting
* Threat detection
### Access Control Audit
All authentication events are logged:
* Successful and failed authentication attempts
* API key usage
* Token generation and usage
* Access to sensitive endpoints
* Administrative actions
### Monitoring System
Our monitoring system provides:
* Real-time alerting for suspicious activities
* Detection of unusual request patterns
* Continuous monitoring of security controls
* Automated response to potential threats
* Anomaly detection using machine learning
## Error Codes & Responses
The API uses standard HTTP status codes and a consistent error response format:
### HTTP Status Codes
* `200 OK`: Request successful
* `400 Bad Request`: Invalid request parameters
* `401 Unauthorized`: Authentication failed
* `403 Forbidden`: Insufficient permissions
* `404 Not Found`: Resource not found
* `429 Too Many Requests`: Rate limit exceeded
* `500 Internal Server Error`: Server-side error
### Error Response Format
```json
{
"timestamp": "2023-07-01T14:30:00Z",
"error": "Error type",
"detail": "Human-readable error message"
}
The API provides two environments:
Sandbox: For development and testing
Production: For live applications
