I Developed a Free API-Based NAV Tracker for NPS Funds in Google Sheets/Excel

Built a site for tracking daily NPS fund NAV. Use the API in Google Sheets:

=GETNAV("https://api.example.com/v1/fund?id=XYZ")

and in Excel:

=LOADNAV("https://api.example.com/v1/fund?id=XYZ")

Historical data is available.

The API-based NAV tracker is an impressive solution for managing daily fund data more efficiently. In my own workflow, I have implemented similar strategies for automating data retrieval in both Sheets and Excel. I discovered that integrating real-time financial APIs not only reduces manual data entry but also enhances accuracy and saves considerable time on updates. I had to deal with occasional latency issues and API rate limits, which I resolved by incorporating error checks and caching mechanisms. The capability to trace historical trends using this kind of tracker offers valuable insights into long-term fund performance.
