Frequently asked questions
Diligent scores C on the API Report Card. Diligent publishes public REST APIs at developer.diligent.com covering HighBond, ESG, Third-Party Manager, Equity, and Workflow, built on the JSON:API spec with OAuth 2.0.

Diligent has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Diligent API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Diligent data. See the Diligent integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/diligent-api.
