Retrieve ASIC Extract API

Retrieve ASIC Extract collects an extract that was ordered with ASIC Extract, using the reference that call returned. The extract comes back as the full JSON record from ASIC or, on request, as a PDF document ready to file.

  • The JSON payload carries the exact ASIC structure for the company or person, and pdf=true returns the same extract as a formatted PDF
  • The call waits up to 30 seconds for the extract, is not billed, and can be repeated until the extract is returned
For developers

What the check gives you

Collecting the extract once ASIC has produced it

An ASIC extract is generated in the background after it is ordered, normally within seconds but up to 10 minutes when the ASIC service is busy. Retrieve ASIC Extract is the call that collects it. Your system supplies the reference from the original order and receives either the finished extract or a status telling it to try again.

The finished extract as JSON

A 200 response carries the full extract in the exact structure of the ASIC dataset. A company extract carries the entity details, the ASIC extracts, directors and shareholders. A person extract carries the subject details and their related roles and shareholdings.

The same extract as a PDF

Adding pdf=true to the call returns the extract as a PDF document in the response body instead of JSON, for a file or for a person to read.

Whether the extract is ready

The call waits up to 30 seconds. If the extract is still being generated it returns a 202 response, and your system repeats the call with the same reference until the extract is returned.

A reference for the audit trail

Each retrieval carries its own API reference, separate from the reference of the original order, so both calls can be traced in the usage and audit logs.

How a check runs

The order returns at once; this call carries the waiting

ASIC Extract returns immediately with a reference. Retrieve ASIC Extract holds the connection for up to 30 seconds and answers with the extract, or with a 202 if it is not ready. Repeat the call with the same reference until the extract is returned.

Poll with an exponential back-off. An extract can only be retrieved for 24 hours after the original ASIC Extract request; after that the call returns 410 and a new order is needed.

Reading the result

What each response means for the extract you ordered

The status code tells your system whether it has the extract, should wait, or needs to order again.

Ready

The extract is returned

A 200 response carries the full ASIC extract as JSON, or as a PDF when pdf=true was sent. Store it against the matter and stop polling.

Processing

The extract is not ready yet

A 202 response means ASIC is still generating the extract. Repeat the call with the same reference, backing off between attempts. Generation can take up to 10 minutes in busy periods.

Expired

The retrieval window has closed

A 410 response means more than 24 hours have passed since the extract was ordered. Submit a new ASIC Extract request to obtain a current extract.

Not found

No extract matches the reference

A 404 response means no extract was found for the reference supplied, or it belongs to another account or environment. Check the reference from the original order and the environment it was made in.

What it costs

A monthly subscription, drawn down as you run checks

Your subscription is credited to your account each month and each check consumes credits from it. If you go past the included amount, further checks are charged at a per-check rate. The rate depends on the volume you commit to, so the sales team is the fastest way to find where your business lands.

  • Volume-based pricing
  • No lock-in contract
How billing works
Subscribe monthly, spend it as credits
  • The monthly subscription arrives as credits on your account.
  • Each check draws down credits as it runs.
  • Checks beyond the included credits are billed per check.
  • Higher monthly volume moves you to a lower rate.

Questions

Questions we get asked about retrieving extracts

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. Retrieve ASIC Extract is a REST call that must be repeated until the extract is ready, so a developer builds the polling into your system alongside the ASIC Extract order. The sandbox includes two fixtures that always return a 202 on the first poll, so retry logic can be tested before production keys are issued.
What does our system need to send?
The API reference returned by the ASIC Extract order, in the URL path. Optionally pdf=true to receive the extract as a PDF document instead of JSON.
What comes back?
A 200 response with the full extract when it is ready, in the exact ASIC structure for a company or a person, together with a new API reference for this retrieval. A 202 response while the extract is still being generated. A 404 if the reference is not found, and a 410 once the extract has expired.
How long do we have to collect the extract?
24 hours from the original ASIC Extract request. After that the call returns a 410 response and a new extract must be ordered.
Is this call billed?
No. The retrieval call is not billable and can be repeated as often as needed until the extract is returned. The ASIC Extract order is the billed call.
Where does the data come from?
The extract is an official record sourced from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The JSON payload carries the exact ASIC structure from the upstream dataset, and the PDF is a formatted copy of the same extract.
Is the extract stored by Global Data?
Data returned by the API is retained for audit and historic review, so a retrieved extract can be revisited in the portal. Personally identifiable information sent in a request is not retained. Data in transit and at rest is encrypted, and retention follows the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles.
