Xignite has introduced a new API that provides advanced analytical and full holdings data for global exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs have become one of the most popular investment vehicles for institutional and individual investors. Access to institutional quality ETF data is important to Xignite customers who develop apps for personal finance, wealth management, and retail trading.

The new API, XigniteGlobalETFs, offers daily and historical coverage of all listed exchange-traded products (ETPs) in North America, Europe, and the largest Asian markets. The ETPs include exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded commodities (ETCs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and exchange-traded mutual funds (ETMFs). This data set includes full holdings data, updated daily and net asset value (NAV), returns and fund flows historical data since inception.

Xignite sources the ETF data from CFRA Research, one of the world's largest independent investment research firms. Our Data Quality team cross-validates the ETF data across sources and proactively detects and fixes any missing information. Read Post about Xignite's Data Quality Team

We've included a wide range of available input identifiers, such as CUSIP, ISIN, SEDOL, FIGI, and CompositeFIGI, to allow users greater flexibility and accuracy in maintaining their databases and systems. Users can request data using inputs from a vast pool of identifiers from any point in the timeline with these identifiers. Our API service will be able to identify the correct record using older identifiers and current ones regardless of past changes or inactivity.
