Please indicate how many clients you will be providing Barb data or Barb-related services to?

A Barb-related service is a service which is in any way based on Barb data; for example econometric modelling or integration of Barb data with other data sources.

Any client that has been provided with Barb data or a Barb-related service must be a Barb subscriber in their own right.




If you are working with a Barb underwriter or subscriber and whilst you are there you will be treated as though you are an employee; you are working with Barb data exclusively with this client; and you don’t advertise by any means that you provide Barb data or Barb-related services, then you may access Barb data via your client’s licence.

Please speak to your client about getting access to the Barb data via their analytic systems and/or services.

How do I get Barb data?

There are several options available to access Barb data. The vast majority of Barb subscribers choose to access Barb data via a data bureau. These companies have created user friendly analytic systems and services. A list of the companies is here. As an independent company to Barb, there is a separate fee payable directly to the chosen bureau.

Barb has an API feed which is free to access for Barb subscribers. You will need software to be able to analyse the data.

There is also topline data available in the subscriber section of the Barb website which is updated on a weekly basis. Access to the subscriber section will be available with purchase of a full licence.

How can I use Barb data?

Barb data or a Barb-related service can be provided to a client.  

All clients must either be a Barb Underwriter, a Subscriber or hold an End User Licence in order to be able to receive the data. 

A quarterly return listing all clients to whom data are being provided, must be sent across to Barb. 

What time period does my licence fee cover?

The licence fee provided is the annual licence fee which is based on the calendar year.

If you would like to take a licence after January, the fee will be prorated to the first of the month in which the licence is active.
