Provide your Input - Take the API Survey

In order to fulfill its mission to recommend standard APIs for XBRL-enabled systems, the XBRL International API Task Force is conducting a survey to:

• Better understand the challenges in developing, maintaining and/or using APIs in XBRL-enabled solutions
• Assess where market participants feel that XBRL-enabled software and supporting systems (for example databases or remote messaging) could be better adapted to the needs of XBRL users, practitioners and solution providers.

Take the survey

XII-recommended APIs will encourage inter-operability, simplify the task of integrating XBRL-enabled software into existing systems and improve the overall standard of XBRL-enabled solutions by providing design patterns specific to XBRL.

The results of this survey and the accompanying analysis will be released to the public. Survey respondents will not be identified.

The API Task Force is also soliciting existing APIs, persistence schemas or documentation from the community that may assist us to formulate best-practice approaches to various API domains.

Opinions and knowledge shared will influence the development of standard APIs for the XBRL community world-wide.
