About the Prudential Service API

The Prudential Service API has not been integrated into APIM at this time. This has implications for the certificate type and other requirements/behaviours that are explained below.

The Prudential Service API is used to retrieve the high-level summary of a Market Participant’s prudential position, including estimated exposure, outstanding amount, credit support, credit limit and trading margin. In addition, they can be used to retrieve the latest outstanding amount for a Market Participant.
