FAQs
What content is available via the API?
IBFD APIs enable organisations to bring trusted international tax intelligence directly into their own systems and workflows.
This includes international tax treaties covering over 220 jurisdictions, detailed country tax information (such as corporate tax, withholding tax and VAT), expert curated analysis on major global tax topics including BEPS, Pillar Two and transfer pricing, timely tax and legislative updates, and structured tax data such as comparative tax tables designed for system integration.
All content is drawn from the IBFD Tax Research Platform, ensuring consistent depth, quality, and editorial integrity across every integration.
How does the API relate to Tax Research Platform (TRP) subscriptions?
IBFD’s tax content sits in a central content layer that underpins the Tax Research Platform (TRP). The API connects to this layer, allowing organisations to access the same trusted content programmatically.
The TRP remains the main research interface, while the API exposes subscribed content through a RESTful API for use in internal systems, workflows and AI tools, with links back to the original sources.
This allows organisations to use verified IBFD content beyond the TRP, supporting internal research and AI tools, including RAG pipelines and assistants such as Copilot, Claude and Gemini, while staying aligned with existing subscriptions and content governance.
How does the API enable secure access to IBFD content?
APIs provide a secure and controlled way to access content, ensuring only authorised systems can retrieve information. IBFD content is delivered using trusted security measures and integrated into internal systems while remaining protected and up to date.
With built-in controls and visibility, organisations can manage access and ensure the right people have reliable information while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.
The Content API follows RESTful principles and best practices to support a secure, stable connection.
Can the API be used in AI powered internal workflows and tools?
Yes, after completing our AI compliance check, the IBFD APIs can be used in internal tools that include AI functionality, giving teams access to trusted tax content within their own systems.
We do not train our models on user information, ensuring your data remains secure and confidential.
Our team can help assess how this fits your specific use case. Please also refer to our terms of use for full details on AI usage and our Text & Data Mining policy.
Who is the API suitable for?
The API is designed for organizations that want to embed trusted international tax content directly into their existing systems, tools, and workflows, rather than relying solely on a standalone research interface.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Corporate tax departments that need authoritative tax content integrated into internal research, compliance, reporting, or decision support workflows
- Advisory and professional services firms looking to enhance proprietary research tools or knowledge platforms with IBFD’s trusted tax intelligence.
- Technology and workflow providers that build tax, compliance, or research solutions and require reliable, up‑to‑date tax content to support their products and services.
In general, the API is best suited for organizations with internal platforms or technical capabilities that want to integrate IBFD content programmatically and scale access securely across teams and regions.
