Barclays

Barclays is a British multinational bank providing retail and commercial banking, investment banking, wealth management and credit cards. Its developer surface is the Barclays API Exchange (developer.barclays.com), which publishes 30 API versions across three distinct families: UK Open Banking (OBIE Read/Write v3.1 and v4.0), Barclays Bank Ireland (Berlin Group NextGenPSD2), and Barclaycard US card servicing. 26 of them ship a first-party OpenAPI 3.1 contract covering 184 operations, served anonymously from the portal registry. Nothing is callable without registration, access approval, an OAuth 2.0 token and — on the UK Open Banking surface — an Open Banking-issued mTLS transport certificate.

Barclays publishes 26 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Bank Ireland Confirmation of Funds API, Account and Transactions API, Bank Ireland Account Information API, and 23 more. Tagged areas include Banking, Credit Cards, FAPI, Finance, and Open Banking.

The Barclays catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Barclays’ developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, developer portal, documentation, support, signup flow, changelog, and 31 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/barclays: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
