Applications & Technology

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

Fannie Mae APIs were developed to improve your business

Application programming interfaces (APIs) have become integral across the entire technology landscape. For mortgage lenders, APIs are being recognized as a critical technology that provides immense potential to automate process, improve opportunities and accuracy, as well as reducing costs and workloads.

Our Business Partner APIs have been specially designed and tuned to address the needs of our current customers. Leverage our Public APIs to access free public housing data. Our APIs can be found on the Fannie Mae Developer Portal.

At Fannie Mae, we are committed to improving your experience with us, as well as with your borrower. Our dedicated team will work with you directly to provide easy integration as you grow and improve your business by implementing Fannie Mae APIs.
