How do I get the PRIIPs KID costs (entry, exit, reduction in yield) of a fund by ISIN?
The full PRIIPs KID cost table for any fund from its ISIN as JSON: data.costs with entry, exit, ongoing, transaction and performance fees, reduction in yield and the recommended holding period.Updated 12 September 2026 · by FundFacts APIShort answer
Call GET https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/{isin} with a bearer API key and read data.costs.entry / exit in the JSON response (related fields: data.costs.ongoing / transaction / performanceFee, data.costs.riy1y / riyRhp). The cost table is read deterministically from the KID PDF in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch, with the document model as a fallback when a fund house lays the table out unusually. The Free plan gives 15 lookups a month with no card, and the keyless demo endpoint shows the shape for an already-loaded fund.
Where it is in the response
| Path | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
data.costs.entry / exit | string | One-off costs as printed. |
data.costs.ongoing / transaction / performanceFee | string | Recurring and incidental costs. |
data.costs.riy1y / riyRhp | string | Reduction in yield after one year and over the recommended holding period. |
data.costs.recommendedHoldingPeriod | string | As printed, e.g. "5 years". |
Sample for iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF (IE00B4L5Y983):
json"costs": {"entry": "0.00%", "exit": "0.00%","ongoing": "0.20%", "transaction": "0.01%", "performanceFee": "0.00%","riy1y": "0.21%", "riyRhp": "0.21%","recommendedHoldingPeriod": "5 years"}
Where the figure comes from
The cost table is read deterministically from the KID PDF in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch, with the document model as a fallback when a fund house lays the table out unusually. This is the data an ex-ante cost disclosure under MiFID II needs per fund.
The request
bashcurl -s --max-time 300 https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/funds/IE00B4L5Y983 \-H "Authorization: Bearer $FUNDFACTS_API_KEY" | jq '.data.costs'
pythonimport os, requestsr = 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']['costs']['entry'])
javascriptconst 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.costs.entry);
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
- Funds without a PRIIPs KID (some non-EU funds) return empty strings.
- Performance fees are printed as an estimate in the KID; the payload keeps the printed figure.
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.
Verify it yourself
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.bashcurl -s https://fundfactsapi.com/api/v1/demo/funds/IE00B4L5Y983 | jq '{name, asOf: .data.dataAsOf, ter: .data.headlineMetrics.ter, risk: .data.riskRating, top: .data.topHoldings[:3]}'
