Quickstart

1. Create a key

2. Call the endpoint

Pass the key in Authorization: Bearer <key>. Filter by jurisdiction, regulator, or type.

3. Iterate with `since`

Each response includes meta.nextSince; pass it as ?since=on the next request to fetch only what’s new.

curl -s 'https://regulator.watch/api/v1/items?type=warning&jurisdiction=uk' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer rw_live_•••' | jq .

Compliance & redistribution

Items in the API include a sourceUrl linking back to the originating regulator. Redistribution must preserve the source attribution and may not strip the regulator name from headlines.

For commercial redistribution to end users (other than for the consumer’s own internal compliance use), please contact enterprise@regulator.watch to discuss a redistribution licence.
