Morningstar API

Morningstar fund, ETF and stock pages and fund holdings as JSON, without an enterprise data contract.

The API.SH Morningstar API turns public Morningstar pages into structured JSON. Search stocks, funds and ETFs by name or ticker, then pull a fund with its NAV, expense ratio, category, style box, yield, turnover and top holdings, an ETF with its trailing returns against its category, a stock's quote page with valuation ratios and competitors, or a full holdings list with weights, sectors and share changes.

API.SH vs the official Morningstar API

Morningstar sells official APIs: Direct Web Services, the Equity Data API Center and a Python package for Morningstar Direct, all with credentials and licensing. API.SH reads public Morningstar pages instead. Subscriber-only items such as fair values, moats and some ratings are not included.

Skip writing your own Morningstar scraper, fixing it each time the site changes, or paying for an enterprise feed when you only need public page data: API.SH gives you one key and a fixed price per call.
