In a combined theoretical and experimental work, we investigate x-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) from the iodine L3 and the lead M5 edge of the methyl-ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite and its binary phase PbI2. We find that the absorption onsets are dominated by bound excitons with sizable binding energies of a few hundred meV and pronounced anisotropy. The spectra of both materials exhibit remarkable similarities, suggesting that the fingerprints of core excitations in MAPbI3 are essentially given by its inorganic component, with negligible influence from the organic groups. Our theoretical analysis allows for an insightful characterization of experimental observations in this complex material.
