Free AMFI Mutual Fund NAV API for India - Historical NAV by Scheme Code, No Key
Published: June 12, 2026
A free, open AMFI mutual fund NAV API for India - no key, no sign-up. If you have ever tried to get Indian mutual fund NAV data programmatically, you know the pain. AMFI publishes it, but as a giant daily text dump. Most "APIs" make you pull one scheme at a time, with rate limits, and only recent history.
So I built an open one. Free, no API key, no sign-up. And it does the thing I have not seen anyone else do: let you download the entire NAV history - every scheme, every day - in one click, or in a single API call.
What you get
- 20.5 million+ daily NAV records - and growing, refreshed daily from AMFI
- 18,000+ schemes - every live and historical AMFI scheme
- History back to October 2008 - not just the last couple of years
- Source: AMFI India (the official Association of Mutual Funds in India feed)
- No authentication. No key, no sign-up, no quota games. Just call it.
What you can do with it
All of this is free, with no key and no sign-up:
- Find a scheme - search by fund name to get its AMFI scheme code.
- Pull one scheme's full NAV history - pass the AMFI scheme code and get its entire history back, optionally from a start date.
- Want the whole database? Two ways:
- Human way - open the MFPRO Download Full Database tab. Click a button and the file downloads. Parquet, CSV, TSV, or SQLite. No code.
- AI / API way - a single GET on
/mf/v1/downloadand all 20.5M+ rows land as a single file. Approx sizes: Parquet ~109 MB, CSV ~132 MB compressed, SQLite ~462 MB compressed.
Full documentation
The complete, always-current reference - every endpoint, its parameters, ready-to-run code, the download formats and the OpenAPI / Swagger console - lives in one place:
MF NAV API docs at tigzig.com/apis/mf-nav
I keep the how-to there rather than repeating it here, because the API is actively being extended - so the docs stay right while any code pasted into a blog post would quietly go stale. Start there for the base URL, live examples and the interactive Swagger console.

MFPRO runs on this same AMFI data, in your browser. No key, no download, no code. Pick up to 200 funds (or start from a ready-made preset of 24 or 104), add any Nifty or BSE benchmark, and compare over any period.
Returns: CAGR across windows, Sharpe, Sortino, alpha, beta, R-squared, up and down capture, drawdowns and Calmar, VaR, and rolling returns (average, median, min, max, beat %). 40+ return, risk and drawdown metrics in all.
Composition: for 24 major equity funds (about a third of the equity universe), drill into holdings, entries and exits, and index composition.
