The challenge
Normalization of ratings data across vendor APIs
Our team was tasked with replacing an existing ratings component with a standalone tool to achieve wider coverage and more frequent updates. The challenge was that each rating agency provided data using different protocols and formats. Additionally, they varied in their frequency of data releases and update methods, with some offering full data sets monthly with daily updates, while others provided full updates only at major intervals.Lack of standardized APIs
The absence of a standardized API across data providers required the development of a highly flexible, metadata-driven tool. This tool needed to be easily configurable to handle different data formats and protocols, ensuring that all data was stored consistently.Handling inconsistent data release frequencies
To address the inconsistencies in data release frequencies, we implemented various data update strategies, such as daily patches and monthly full updates. These strategies could be easily configured and combined, allowing for a robust and compliant ratings retrieval process regardless of the provider.
