1.0.0-draft · Effective 2026-05-13These Terms govern your access to and use of the Hub-Equity REST API (api.hub-equity.com) and the Hub-Equity MCP server. By creating an API key or installing the MCP server, you accept these Terms in their current draft form.
Hub-Equity provides programmatic access to (a) publicly filed XBRL / iXBRL data from SEC EDGAR and ESEF jurisdictions, and (b) value-added normalisation layers proprietary to Hub-Equity (hub concept mappings, calculation linkbase verification, dimensional taxonomy, fiscal-year alignment, restatement diffs). Public XBRL data is freely accessible; the normalisation layer requires an active Pro or Enterprise license.
Access is authenticated via API keys (hubq_live_… orhubq_test_…). You are responsible for keeping your keys confidential. If a key is compromised, you must revoke it via /settings/api-keys or DELETE /api/v1/api-keys/{id}. Hub-Equity is not liable for usage incurred by leaked keys before the revocation.
Rate limits per plan (subject to revision):
Sustained abuse (scripted scraping of the full universe, parallel circumvention of rate limits, etc.) may result in immediate key revocation without notice.
Raw XBRL data (publicly filed) may be redistributed freely. The Hub-Equity normalisation layer (hub concept codes, axis taxonomy, member hierarchy, restatement diffs, fiscal-year alignment) is proprietary; you may use it internally and embed it in analytical outputs (reports, dashboards, derived datasets), but you may not redistribute it as a competing data product or re-license it to third parties without a separate commercial agreement.
Hub-Equity logs each API call for security and quota enforcement. Logged fields include IP address, User-Agent, response code, endpoint path, latency, and the API key id. Logs are retained 90 days. You can access your own usage history via GET /api/v1/usage/me. Tenant admins can access usage of all keys in their tenant via the admin dashboard. We do not share logs with third parties except as required by law.
The API is provided "as is". Hub-Equity makes commercial efforts to keep the API available but does not guarantee uptime, latency, or data accuracy during the beta phase. Hub-Equity is not liable for indirect or consequential damages (lost revenue, missed trades, regulatory exposure). Maximum liability is capped at the amount paid by the client during the 12 months preceding the incident.
Either party may terminate the API agreement with 30 days written notice. Hub-Equity may revoke API keys immediately in case of violation of these Terms (notably §3 abuse and §4 redistribution).
Hub-Equity may update these Terms with 30 days notice. Notification is via the changelog at docs/api/CHANGELOG.mdand email to the address associated with the API key's owner. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by French law. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris commercial courts.
