The Matching API resolves external company names to Credit Benchmark reference entities — standardize identifiers before portfolios load, before analytics run, before anything downstream depends on the data being clean.
- One endpoint: POST /matching/text/match_external
- Returns ranked candidates with CBId, entity name, country of risk, and confidence score
- Optional hints — country, industry, LEI — sharpen results for noisy names
The Analytics API is a new programmatic surface for querying CB data — aggregate trends, rating changes, credit breakdowns, and more — without touching the web app.
- Five endpoints at launch: Aggregate Trend, Entity Rating Change, Get Data, Credit Breakdown, Rating Distribution
- Consistent request model across all five workflows
- Built for dashboarding, monitoring, and recurring analysis

- Covers ~80% of the CCR universe

- Paste a list or upload CSV/XLSX directly
- CB maps submitted names to reference entities and CBId automatically
- Reduces manual cleanup for portfolios with inconsistent naming
The Web App has been rebranded. New visual identity, cleaner interface, same workflows — nothing about how you use the product has changed.
