Has the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission warned the public about this firm or website? The SFC’s Alert List covers entities it says are not licensed to carry on a regulated activity in Hong Kong, suspicious websites, suspicious virtual asset trading platforms, fake regulators and phishing sites (about 3,200 entries since 2000). This is a warning list, not the register of licensed firms.

Tools

• hk_sfc_alert_list_search(query?, type?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?) — case-insensitive substring match on the names as the SFC lists them (English and Chinese), optional list type and add-date window, newest first. Each entry gives the id, the name(s), the list type, the date added, whether it is a new listing and the link to the SFC’s notice. Also returns total_matching, searched (rows in the list and the dates covered), skipped_possible_individuals and data_as_of.
• hk_sfc_alert_get(id) — one entry by id: names, type, the SFC’s own remarks, the website it lists and the date added. An unknown id returns found: false.

Data sources

• Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, Alert List. Read from the publisher on request and held in the serving process for 30 minutes (about 1.2 MB); data_as_of is the newest add date.

Individuals are not returned

Names that read like a natural person (a title such as Mr or Ms, or two to three capitalised words with no company word, or a two or three character Chinese name) are left out and counted in skipped_possible_individuals; a row of only such names is not returned. The rule is deliberately conservative, so some firms with person-like trade names are left out too. Addresses on an alert’s page are never returned. Every response carries a note saying so.

Behaviour worth knowing

• No match says what was searched (empty_reason: no_match) and is not evidence an entity is licensed.
• A page that no longer has the Alert List table, or parses to implausibly few rows, is refused as upstream_down, not read as empty.
• The remarks are the SFC’s wording at the add date; they are not a finding about the party today.
• The SFC’s register of licensed corporations and its enforcement news are not in this pack.
