M&A Deals API

Table of contents

Overview

The Acuris M&A Deals API is the interface to use to query our archive of over 400,000 M&A deals tracked since 1998.

It is delivered over HTTPs, conforms to RESTful principles, and returns JSON objects.

Quick start

You can call the M&A Deals API endpoint and get the latest published content included in your subscription:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' https://api.acuris.com/deals

The ‘hits’ property in the payload shows the total number of items returned. The default response shows the latest 20 items published and you can paginate through the response to get additional content. The API can also be interrogated using a set of filters to fetch specific sub-sets of data.

Compression

We recommend the use of GZIP compression to gain up to 80% reduction in the JSON data transfer.

Accept-Encoding:deflate,gzip

Concurrency and rate limits

Each API key is limited to a maximum of 5 concurrent requests and 10 requests per second. Requests over the limit will receive the response ‘429 Too Many Requests’.
