## What the Search ISIN Record API does

Search ISIN Record validates an International Securities Identification Number and returns the security's details and current status.

The ISIN uniquely identifies a security globally, which makes it the right key for confirming that an instrument being traded, pledged or held is the one everyone believes it to be.

## Where teams use the Search ISIN Record API

1.  Validating securities in a trading or custody workflow
    
2.  Confirming instrument details before a pledge
    
3.  Checking whether a security is active or suspended
    
4.  Reconciling holdings against instrument records
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an ISIN?

A twelve-character code that uniquely identifies a security internationally, covering equities, bonds and other instruments.

Does it give a price?

No. It returns identification and status. Market data comes from a separate feed.

Why does status matter?

Suspended or delisted securities cannot be traded or pledged normally, so status changes what actions are valid.
