How do I get the country or region exposure of a fund by ISIN?

Where it is in the response

Sample for iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF (IE00B4L5Y983):

json
"geography": [
  { "label": "United States", "weight": 72.07 },
  { "label": "Japan", "weight": 5.85 },
  { "label": "United Kingdom", "weight": 3.49 }
],
"profile": { "regionFocus": "Global", "regionTilt": "United States" }

Where the figure comes from

Country weights are read from the factsheet or product page; regions from the same document when it groups them. profile.regionFocus is derived with published rules so that "Global", "Europe" or "Emerging Markets" means the same thing across fund houses and can be used as a filter facet.

The request

bash
curl -s --max-time 300 https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/IE00B4L5Y983 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FUNDFACTS_API_KEY" | jq '.data.geography[:5]'

python
import os, requests
r = requests.get("https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/IE00B4L5Y983",
                 headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['FUNDFACTS_API_KEY']}"}, timeout=300)
fund = r.json()
print(fund["name"], fund['data']['geography'])

javascript
const res = await fetch("https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/IE00B4L5Y983", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FUNDFACTS_API_KEY}` },
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(300_000),
});
const fund = await res.json();
console.log(fund.name, fund.data.geography);

Sign up at fundfactsapi.com/signup for a key; the Free plan is 15 lookups a month with no card. Without a key, GET https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/demo/funds/IE00B4L5Y983 returns the same payload for funds already in the store (30 calls a minute per IP; it never loads a new fund).

Caveats

• Some documents list countries, some list regions, some both; whichever the fund house publishes is returned, and the other array may be empty.
• Country of listing and country of risk differ for multinationals; the fund house's convention applies.

Several funds at once

POST /funds with { "isins": ["…", "…"], "wait": true } returns the same payload for up to 10 ISINs per call on Starter, 50 on Pro and 200 on Scale. One request is counted per ISIN answered. X-RateLimit-Remaining on every response tells you how many are left this month; a 429 rate_limited response carries Retry-After. Search and /me are free.

A fund nobody has requested in the last 24 hours is loaded on demand from the documents the fund house publishes. That first call takes 15 seconds to about 3 minutes; set your client timeout to 300 seconds and do not fire a second request for the same ISIN while the first is running. Every later call within 24 hours returns from the store in well under a second with cached: true.

Everything else in the payload is listed in the field reference.
