GET /v1/deals/list
This endpoint is used for listing deal numbers of deals which have been changed in the provided date range. The API is very permissive as you can select any date range. In order to provide quick responses the API implements pagination for results larger than set limit.
Parameters
fromDateoptional
beginning of the date range - format YYYY-MM-DD
toDateoptional
end of date range (included) - format YYYY-MM-DD
limitoptional
limits the response size to 50, 100, 250 or 1000 items per page

API Key Management
In order to access the API you need to provide an API key in the Authorization header. This API key needs to be rotated at least every 30 days. This section describes the API key management endpoints and how to rotate the API key.
GET /v1/apiKeys/list
This endpoint will list all the API keys you've created. There is a maximum allowed number of API keys which is 2. This is so you can easily migrate from one key which will expire soon without any disruption - e.g. 2 keys will be active throughout the short period of time.
Example
curl -X GET \
{host}/v1/apiKeys/list \
-H 'Authorization: {apiKey}'
[
{
"key": "**************************************VW80k",
"keyManagement": {
"expired": false,
"secondsUntilExpiration": 3042899
},
"apiAccess": {
"expired": false,
"secondsUntilExpiration": 2178899
},
"enabled": true,
"createdAt": "2025-05-29T13:33:40.974Z",
"updatedAt": "2025-05-29T13:33:40.974Z"
}
]
In the above response you will see up to two keys. The key information contains the masked key itself for easier identification, an indication of whether the key is enabled or not, information regarding the last time the key was created and updated. Lastly you can see there are two expiration periods - one for key management keyManagement.expired and one for API access apiAccess.expired. The key is usually valid for key management up to 5 days after the key API access expires.
POST /v1/apiKeys/create
This endpoint is used for creating new API keys. The maximum key number limit is 2.
Example
curl -X POST \
{host}/v1/apiKeys/create \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: {apiKey}'
{
"key": "Iwwx3p8-Jf3s2RA9lnW78N3gTAx8Gv8nSTIfdgvXBc4",
"keyManagement": {
"expired": false,
"secondsUntilExpiration": 3456000
},
"apiAccess": {
"expired": false,
"secondsUntilExpiration": 2592000
},
"enabled": true,
"createdAt": "2025-06-03T10:14:08.798Z",
"updatedAt": "2025-06-03T10:14:08.798Z"
}
Upon key creation the same structure as per /v1/apiKeys/list is returned by the endpoint.
Errors
When maximum keys number limit (2) is reached the following error is returned:
{
"error": "Maximum keys limit exceeded.",
"type": "badRequest"
}
POST /v1/apiKeys/enable
In order to enable a key that has already been disabled, you can use this endpoint.
Example
curl -X POST \
{host}/v1/apiKeys/enable \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: {apiKey}' \
-d '{ "apiKey": "api key you want to enable" }'
{
"message": "API key enabled successfully."
}
or
{
"message": "API key is already been enabled."
}
Errors
When you try to enable non-existing keys this error is returned:
{
"error": "API key does not exist.",
"type": "notFound"
}
POST /v1/apiKeys/disable
In order to disable already enabled key, you can use this endpoint.
Example
curl -X POST \
{host}/v1/apiKeys/disable \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: {apiKey}' \
-d '{ "apiKey": "api key you want to disable" }'
{
"message": "API key disabled successfully."
}
or
{
"message": "API key is already been disabled."
}
Errors
You cannot disable your last remaining key because you would lose access to the API itself. This error is returned when you try to do so:
{
"error": "Cannot disable the last API key.",
"type": "badRequest"
}
When you try to disable non-existing keys this error is returned:
{
"error": "API key does not exist.",
"type": "notFound"
}
POST /v1/apiKeys/delete
You can use this endpoint in order to delete old keys.
/v1/apiKeys/disable endpoint.
Example
curl -X POST \
{host}/v1/apiKeys/delete \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: {apiKey}' \
-d '{ "apiKey": "api key you want to delete" }'
{
"message": "API key deleted successfully."
}
Errors
When you try to delete a key which is not disabled:
{
"error": "Cannot delete active API key. Please disable key before deletion.",
"type": "badRequest"
}
You cannot delete your last remaining key because you would lose access to the API itself. This error is returned when you try to do so:
{
"error": "Cannot delete the last API key.",
"type": "badRequest"
}
When you try to enable a non-existing key this error is returned:
{
"error": "API key does not exist.",
"type": "notFound"
}
API Key Rotation
There is a hard limit for creating API keys set to a maximum of 2 keys. You should always use only one key to access the deals API.
When the key is about to expire, you should create a new API key. This is the only time you need two active keys for a short period of time - e.g. you create a new API key but until you start using it your application may still use the old API key.
Once the API key is replaced in your application, you should disable the old key and delete it.
This way most of the time there is only one active key. When this key is about to expire you repeat the process of key rotation.
When your key expires you will still have a 5-day window when the key is valid for using the Key management API. After this period your key expires, and you won't be able to generate new keys or access the Deals API with your old keys.
We recommend you rotate keys every 30 days as the expiration time for each key is 35 days.

The list.json contains an array of deal numbers.
Obtaining Deal Data
aws s3 cp s3://oldprod-mandadatasyncapi-initialdatabfff8eed-lnhhxpc7gusw/data/{deal number}.json . --profile {profile associated with allowed account}
In order to get data for particular deal, please use one of deal numbers from list.json - please use full number with leading zeroes e.g. 0043065.json.
Structure of {deal number}.json file is the same as per API.
Obtaining Files Associated With Deal
aws s3 cp s3://oldprod-mandadatasyncapi-initialdatabfff8eed-lnhhxpc7gusw/data/files/{deal number}.json . --profile {profile associated with allowed account}
Structure of files/{deal number}.json file is the same as per API. The only difference is the files.uri property which does not contain URIs to the files but rather S3 keys.
Example
{
"files": [
{
"id": 259981,
"name": "Shell annual report 31-12-24.pdf",
"type": "Accounts",
"uri": "/files/65/30/004/0043065/Accounts/Shell annual report 31-12-24.pdf"
},
{

"type": "Accounts",
"uri": "/files/65/30/004/0043065/Accounts/TotalEnergies annual report 31-12-24 (French) .pdf"
},
{

"type": "Accounts",

},

"name": "Shell press release 29-05-25 (ann).docx",
"type": "Press_Releases",
"uri": "/files/65/30/004/0043065/Press_Releases/Shell press release 29-05-25 (ann).docx"
},
{

"name": "TotalEnergies press release 29-05-25.pdf",
"type": "Press_Releases",

]
}
Below is example which describes how to download the first file from above JSON response:
KEY="/files/65/30/004/0043065/Accounts/Shell annual report 31-12-24.pdf"
aws s3 cp s3://oldprod-mandadatasyncapi-initialdatabfff8eed-lnhhxpc7gusw$KEY . --profile {profile associated with allowed account}
In above example we first create bash variable $KEY because the file key contains empty spaces. We believe you will be accessing the files in bulk programmatically using one of the AWS libraries which handles empty spaces automatically.
