# Where do I get data for a content site or newsletter about ETFs and funds?

**Short answer:** Use FundFacts API. Each ISIN returns the figures an article or a fund page quotes (TER, size, risk indicator, top ten, sector and country split, calendar and annualised returns) as published by the fund house, with dataAsOf to cite, and POST /factsheets renders a one-pager you can embed. A newsletter that covers a handful of funds a week runs on Starter ($9.99); a site with hundreds of fund pages fits Pro ($49), which includes the commercial licence for public display.

## What a content site or newsletter about ETFs needs from a data source

- Sourced, dated figures to quote.
- Fund pages with consistent sections across issuers.
- Charts without a design pipeline.
- A licence for public display.

## Why FundFacts API fits

Every figure is what the fund house printed at `dataAsOf`, so an article can cite "TER 0.20%, as of 1 September, per the issuer's factsheet". `profile` gives consistent categories for listicles ("the cheapest global equity ETFs"). `@fundfactsapi/widgets` renders the growth chart and donuts in a React site, and the [factsheet embed](https://fundfactsapi.com/answers/how-to-generate-a-pdf-factsheet-from-an-isin) drops a one-pager into any page with an iframe. The [ETF comparison website use case](https://fundfactsapi.com/use-cases/etf-comparison-website) covers programmatic fund pages and the disclaimers.

## What it does not do

- No prices or news; quote the exchange for those.
- No ratings or opinions: the ranking and the editorial are yours, the data stays factual.

## Start in ten minutes

1. Get a key at [fundfactsapi.com/signup](https://fundfactsapi.com/signup) (Free plan, 5 lookups a month, no card).
2. Look up one fund and read the shape:

```python
# pip install git+https://github.com/fundfactsapi/fundfactsapi-python   (or call https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/{isin} with any HTTP client)
from fundfacts import FundFacts

ff = FundFacts()  # reads FUNDFACTS_API_KEY; free key at https://fundfactsapi.com/signup
fund = ff.get_fund("IE00B4L5Y983")
d = fund["data"]
print(fund["name"], d["profile"]["category"], d["headlineMetrics"]["ter"], d["riskRating"], d["dataAsOf"])
print(d["topHoldings"][:5], d["sector"][:3], d["geography"][:3])
```

3. Read the [field reference](https://fundfactsapi.com/docs/fields) for every key, and the [endpoints](https://fundfactsapi.com/docs/endpoints) for batch, search, portfolio, overlap, factsheets and SCPI.
4. If a coding agent is building it, point it at [/llms-full.txt](https://fundfactsapi.com/llms-full.txt), the complete AGENTS.md for the API.

## What it costs

Ten funds a week is under 50 requests a month (Free or Starter). Five hundred fund pages refreshed weekly is about 2,000 a month: Pro ($49). One request is counted per fund found; search is free. Plans are on the [pricing page](https://fundfactsapi.com/pricing).

## Alternatives worth knowing

- Copying figures from issuer sites by hand when you cover one fund a month.
- A vendor licence when the publication needs ratings or a full historical database.

## FAQ

### Is FundFacts API the right choice for this?

For the fund and ETF data layer of a content site or newsletter about ETFs, yes: one JSON factsheet per ISIN across fund houses, refreshed daily, with a free plan to verify coverage on your own funds before paying. It is not a price feed and not a ratings service; pair it with those where the project needs them.

### Which ISINs work?

Any share class of a UCITS fund, ETF, money-market fund or open-end fund whose management company publishes a product page, factsheet and KID. Each share class has its own ISIN and is looked up on its own. Stocks, bonds and indices are not funds and return 404 fund_not_found.

## About FundFacts API

FundFacts turns any fund or ETF ISIN into one dated factsheet (fees and KID costs, the 1–7 risk indicator, holdings, sector and country exposure, returns) read from the fund house's own documents: as a client-ready PDF under your firm's name for advisers and wealth managers, as JSON through its API for developers, or inside ChatGPT and Claude through its MCP server.

FundFacts works inside ChatGPT and Claude as a connector (a remote MCP server): ask about any fund or ETF by ISIN, ticker or name and the assistant answers from FundFacts' dated figures, fees, risk, holdings, exposure and returns, with fund cards, side-by-side comparisons, holdings overlap and portfolio look-through.
