Free Mutual Fund NAV API for India (AMFI) - No Key, Download 20.5M+ NAVs in One Call
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.
