Overview

The Indian Mutual Fund API gives you free access to the complete history of all mutual funds registered in India. You can look up NAV (Net Asset Value) history, scheme details, and fund metadata without any authentication. It is an excellent choice for beginners building personal finance or investment tracking apps.

Beginner Tip

No API key is needed — just use the scheme code from the AMFI website to fetch NAV data directly; the endpoint returns clean JSON that is easy to parse.

How This API Fails

We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.

HTTP 404 Requesting a path that does not exist text/plain

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

404 Not Found The mutual fund scheme code provided does not exist
Verify the scheme code on the AMFI website (amfiindia.com) and use the exact numeric code in your request.
Empty data array The requested date range has no NAV records
Check that the date range is valid and that the fund was active during that period.
Network timeout The API server is temporarily overloaded
Add retry logic with a short delay of 1-2 seconds in your code to handle intermittent failures.
