Fund Metric Names

GET/v2/funds/metrics/names

Returns every metric name available on /v2/funds/metrics, with the unit and a description for each name. Metric families such as calendar year returns are returned as name patterns. Any name that matches a listed pattern is a valid metric name, for example calendar_year_return_2025.

Use these names with the fields parameter of /v2/funds/metrics. The vocabulary is versioned with the API. New metric names may be added over time and additions are backward compatible.

No fund identifier is required.

Free in every plan, including the trial.
