KYC API: Upcoming changes to our connection to the Chinese register

Posted 2025-06-21 | Updated 2025-06-23

Summary

We would like to inform you that we have scheduled the implementation of the following changes to our connection with the The National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECI) on KYC API, available with the 9th of July 2025’s release.

Additional data

We are pleased to share details of the upcoming updates, including the addition of new fields within the refresh and super dataset. The first field applies to KYC API v1, whereas the second field is relevant to KYC API v2. If only one field is presented, it is only applicable to KYC API v2.


Refresh dataset
  • extradata.otherNumber / additionalData.otherIdentifiers.otherNumber
  • extradata.registrationInstitution / additionalData.legalEvents.registrationInstitution
  • additionalData.otherNames.translatedName

Super dataset
  • extradata.otherNumber / additionalData.otherIdentifiers.otherNumber
  • extradata.registrationInstitution / additionalData.legalEvents.registrationInstitution
  • extraData.dateOfLicense / providerSpecificData.dateOfLicense
  • extradata.numberOfEmployees / additionalData.numberOfEmployees
  • extradata.listed / additionalData.listed
  • people.shareholder.registrationNumber / associatedEntities.shareholder.registrationNumber
  • people.shareholder.translatedName / associatedEntities.shareholder.translatedName
  • extraData.shareType / additionalData.shares.shareType
  • additionalData.branches.name
  • additionalData.branches.number
  • additionalData.branches.registrationInstitution
  • additionalData.otherNames.translatedName
  • associatedEntities.shareholder.residenceCountry
  • associatedEntities.shareholder.providedRole
  • associatedEntities.officer.translatedName

Data refinement

Updated identifiers

To enhance our data quality, uphold product integrity, and improve the user experience, we are implementing the following modifications to the identifiers for the Chinese register. We will move the identifier oldNumber under the existing otherNumber. Additionally, all instances of oldNumber will be removed from refresh and super dataset on KYC API v1 and KYC API v2. Kindly review the impacted fields: extradata.oldNumber / additionalData.otherIdentifiers.oldNumber

Adjustment of otherNames

To improve data accuracy, we have decided to utilize otherNames to more accurately reflect the mapped values as follows: Under otherNames will from now on be shown englishNames and translatedNames, according to the values provided from the source. Therefore, to maintain product integrity, the otherNames field will be removed from refresh and super dataset on KYC API v1 and KYC API v2. Kindly review the impacted fields: extradata.otherName / additionalData.otherNames.otherNames

Exchanging registerCourt

Aligned with this approach, the registerCourt field will be excluded entirely from the super dataset on KYC API v1 and KYC API v2 to ensure consistency and clarity in data handling. Moving forward, we will use the registrationInstitution field to deliver this information. This feature is now included in this release for your convenience. Kindly review the impacted fields: extraData.registerCourt / additionalData.registerCourt

Conforming shareholderCurrency

Furthermore, to ensure consistency and clarity in data representation, the field shareholderCurrency will no longer appear within the shareholder section of the super dataset on KYC API v1 and KYC API v2. Instead, this information will now be provided exclusively within the shares section. Kindly review the impacted fields: people.shareholder.shareCurrency / associatedEntities.shareholder.shareCurrency

The full list of all removed fields within the refresh and super dataset is stated below. The first field applies to KYC API v1, whereas the second field is relevant to KYC API v2:
  • extradata.oldNumber / additionalData.otherIdentifiers.oldNumber
  • extraData.registerCourt / additionalData.registerCourt
  • people.shareholder.shareCurrency / associatedEntities.shareholder.shareCurrency
  • extradata.otherName / additionalData.otherNames.otherNames

Please find the before and after responses per dataset below. Kindly note that the example companies mentioned are fictitious, and the availability of data fields in the mock-up is subject to the specific requirements of legal forms.
