Grid API Integration

Moody's APIs offer the fastest integration with inquiry risk processing solutions. Connect and communicate with Grid to receive responses soon after you submit an inquiry.

This integration method is ideal for firms using automation to schedule batch file transmissions or create triggers within their own systems to generate and send batch files to us.

Grid API technologies

Grid API services utilize the following core messaging technologies:

  • Representative State Transfer (REST) messaging architecture.

  • JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) over HTTP-based POST operations.

Grid API services provide JSON formatted inputs and responses that enables firms with functionalities such as searching, reviewing, making decisions, and managing portfolio monitoring with their own applications.

The benefits of the V2 REST APIs are numerous and include the reduction of payload sizes, simpler formatting, and future proofing our API integrations to allow for additional feature sets.
