Produit Improved Archive Data

This product allows users to obtain all the references and documents of filings in which the National Bank has made improvements over the past three years. These improvements include:

- encoding of PDF filings as structured data,

- the conversion of foreign currency filings into euros and

- corrections to received data.

Contents

The product allows users to request all information improved by the National Bank for the last three years in the form of datasets (ZIP file). Each day, the National Bank produces a dataset containing the references of improved filings and a dataset with the JSON documents of improved data.

The Improved Archive Data product aggregates these daily datasets over a three-year period, with daily additions of improvements made the day before (+30 days) and deletions of improvements made more than three years ago.

A user specifies the date and type of dataset when requesting the web service. This date must always be in the past. The current date or a future date is invalid.

No XBRL or PDF file is produced for corrected filings.

For all filings improved on working day D, the following dataset is produced daily, made available via the improved data on D+1 of the improvement date and added to the archive or "Improved Archive Data" after 30 days:

  • References of improved filings
    Reference list of all filings improved since 4 April 2022 (with a view to ultimately creating an archive covering the last three years – i.e. a full three-year archive will be available in May 2025.
  • The JSON documents belonging to the filings
    ZIP files of all JSON documents in filings that have been improved since 4 April 2022 (with a view to ultimately creating an archive covering the last three years – i.e. a full three-year archive will be available in May 2025.
