Is it possible to obtain the number of shares held by a known director using the API? Thanks in advance, and apologies if this question has already been answered.

No this is not possible through the API.

it would be very useful if this functionality wa sincluded. All financial companies ar etrying to capture this information since the introduction of the 4th money laundering directive a month ago.

Hi David,

I've since built a script that pulls this information starting from the most recent annual return, and then working through appropriate confirmation statements - so it is possible, however slow.

Bit of a late reply here, but I'm wondering if it's still the case that shareholders cannot be accessed through the API. The docs suggest not.

@jordan: when you say you can get this data by "working through appropriate confirmation statements" are you referring here to parsing PDFs?

Much appreciated,
