stock-api

Get normalized stock market data by running the stock-api CLI. It covers China A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets, with automatic provider fallback across Tencent, Sina, and Eastmoney.

When to use

  • The user wants a current price or quote for one or more stocks.
  • The user wants K-line / candlestick history for charting or analysis.
  • The user knows a company name but not its code (search first, then quote).

How to run

Use npx stock-api <command>. Every command prints JSON to stdout.

Stock codes use a market prefix: SH / SZ (China), HK (Hong Kong), US (US). Examples: SH510500, SZ000651, HK02020, USDJI.

Get one quote

npx stock-api get-stock SH510500

Get several quotes at once

npx stock-api get-stocks SH510500 SZ000651

Get K-line (candlestick) history

npx stock-api get-klines SH600519 --period week --count 20
  • --period — day (default), week, or month.
  • --count — number of rows (defaults to the provider default).
  • --adjust — none (default), qfq (forward), or hfq (backward).

Search a code by keyword

npx stock-api search-stocks 格力电器

Options (all commands)

  • --source — auto (default), tencent, sina, or eastmoney. Leave it on auto unless the user asks for a specific provider; auto falls back across providers if one fails.

Notes

  • Output is JSON — parse it, don't reformat by hand, before showing the user.
  • If a code returns no data, try search-stocks to confirm the correct code.
  • For programmatic/persistent use, this same engine is also available as an MCP server: npx stock-api mcp. Prefer the CLI commands above for one-off lookups.
