Grid Data Feed integration
The Grid Data Feed is a data subscription service. In this service model, you can integrate Grid data behind your firewall to perform analysis and filtering in your own systems and applications.
Each Grid Data Feed extract can range into millions of records and includes up to four data types and schema:
The entities extract contains adverse media, sanctions, and other risk entities for people and organizations in the Grid database. The content of this file is customized to your subscription package.
The sources extract contains media, monitored list, and other source data referenced by the entities extract.
The relationships extract contains data on familial, professional, social, and other relationships relevant to the entities extract. This extract is optional, and you must opt-in to receive it.
The dictionary extract lists the codes used throughout the Grid Data Feed files.
Process overview
Moody's publishes a Grid Data Feed full data extract on the first day of every month and a delta extract seven days per week.
Using a pull model, subscribers access a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) server to retrieve compressed XML files in Moody's proprietary format.
Integration, development, and screening work occur behind the subscriber's firewall. For more information on working with Grid extract files, see the Grid Data Feed XML archive page.
