The open banking API directory
A community-maintained JSON dataset of global banking institutions and open banking API aggregators, tracking PSD2/Open Banking compliance status, sandbox availability, and aggregator coverage by country. Useful for fintech developers who need to know which banks support which APIs, or which aggregators cover which institutions. Think of it as a structured registry of the open banking ecosystem.
The dataset is genuinely large — thousands of institutions across multiple regions — and the JSON Schema validation pipeline with CI checks means contributed data has a quality floor. The scraper pattern for API aggregators is practical: rather than asking aggregators to manually keep coverage up to date, the repo encourages automated sync via Python scrapers with examples for Plaid, GoCardless, and Flinks. The BIC/SWIFT-based matching strategy in scrapers is the right approach for reliable institution deduplication.
The CC BY-NC-SA license will block most commercial fintech use — which is the primary audience for this kind of data; expect that conversation before you build anything on it. Coverage quality is uneven: institution files are contributed by whoever cared enough to PR, so completeness varies wildly by country and institution type. The 'last push 2026-06-09' freshness is deceptive — individual JSON files for obscure institutions may not have been touched in years. There is no versioned release or changelog, so if you pin to main and a bank changes its API endpoints or sandbox status, you find out when your code breaks.
