FINRA is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees US brokerages and exchanges such as the NYSE and NASDAQ. They ensure that brokers and dealers in US stock/debt markets are acting according to the laws and rules defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as by FINRA. Their API contains information about historical market activity, such as fixed income market activity, statistics such as the size of trades that major institutional investors make, and over-the-counter (OTC) trading activity. This information allows regulators as well as the public to understand market trading behavior.
