Franklin Resources

Franklin Resources, doing business as Franklin Templeton, is a global investment management organization offering investment management and related services to retail, institutional, and high net worth clients. It ran a public developer program — the "Detailed Product APIs", seven read-only fund reference, NAV, distribution and AUM operations at api.franklintempleton.com/v1, fronted by a portal at developer.franklintempleton.com — and retired it without a published deprecation notice. Both hosts now have no DNS record; the Swagger 2.0 contract is still served publicly from Franklin Templeton's own SwaggerHub organization, and the company publishes a first-party llms.txt on its main site.

Franklin Resources publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Detailed Product APIs API. Tagged areas include Fortune 500, Investment Management, Asset Management, Financial Services, and Mutual Funds.

Franklin Resources’ developer surface includes authentication, support, engineering blog, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/franklin-resources: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
