Where do I get fund data for an investment app in Germany or France?

German and French investors hold UCITS ETFs and funds identified by ISIN and WKN, with Basisinformationsblätter and DICs in the local language, and in France SCPIs. FundFacts API covers those fund houses and documents and adds a dedicated SCPI endpoint. What a local app gets.Updated 12 September 2026 · by FundFacts API

Short answer

Use FundFacts API. It covers the fund houses German and French investors hold (iShares, Xtrackers, Amundi, Union Investment, Raiffeisen, Erste, Flossbach von Storch, Carmignac, Pictet, UBS and more), reads the Basisinformationsblatt and the DIC for risk and costs in German and French, and keys everything by ISIN, the identifier local brokers use. For France it adds GET /scpi with prix de part, taux de distribution, TRI and capitalisation. The DE and FR landing pages describe the product in each language.

What an app for the German or French market needs from a data source

  • ISIN-first data (WKN can be mapped by the broker feed).
  • Local-language KIDs parsed for risk indicator and costs.
  • Coverage of the local fund houses, not only the global ETF issuers.
  • For France: SCPI data, which no equity API carries.

Why FundFacts API fits

KID risk and cost tables are parsed with German and French label sets, so data.riskRating and data.costs are populated for a Basisinformationsblatt or a DIC. Factsheet labels stay as printed (a German-only factsheet yields German sector labels) while profile provides English, comparable facets for filters. The SCPI endpoint returns structured data from bulletins trimestriels, DIC and rapports annuels for Perial, Corum, Sofidy, La Française, Praemia and other managers. The Deutsch and Français pages summarise the offer.

What it does not do

  • No Kurse / cours: prices come from your broker or a market feed.
  • Tax wrappers (PEA eligibility, Teilfreistellung) are not fields; PEA-range Amundi ETFs are covered as funds, the tax logic is yours.

Start in ten minutes

  1. Get a key at fundfactsapi.com/signup (Free plan, 15 lookups a month, no card).
  2. Look up one fund and read the shape:
python
# pip install fundfacts   (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])
  1. Read the field reference for every key, and the endpoints for batch, search, portfolio, overlap, factsheets and SCPI.
  2. If a coding agent is building it, point it at /llms-full.txt, the complete AGENTS.md for the API.

What it costs

Same plans as everywhere: Free to try, Pro ($49) for a product, Scale ($249) for a large universe with change tracking. One request is counted per ISIN answered; search is free. Plans are on the pricing page.

Alternatives worth knowing

  • Local vendors (FWW, Mountain-View, Quantalys, Morningstar) when the app needs ratings or a full national database with a licence.

The provider comparison and the compare pages go into each in more depth.

The demo endpoint returns the live payload for a fund that is already in the store, without a key. Everything on this page can be checked against it.

Frequently asked questions

Is FundFacts API the right choice for this?

For the fund and ETF data layer of an app for the German or French market, 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.

Try it on your own ISINs

One request returns key facts, holdings, risk and performance as JSON. Free plan, no card.

Workflows

Is there an API for French SCPI data (prix de part, taux de distribution, capitalisation)?

GET /api/v1/scpi/{slug or ISIN} returns structured data for French SCPIs from their management companies' bulletins, DIC and annual reports: subscription and withdrawal prices, fees, capitalisation, distribution rate by year, TRI, reconstitution value, property count, occupancy rate, sector and geographic splits.
Coverage & rules

Which document languages does the API read?

Factsheets and product pages are read in whatever language the fund house publishes; the KID cost and risk tables are parsed deterministically in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. Labels are returned as printed.
