# Natural-language search with evidence chain (for your own orchestration) API
 ⭐ Natural language → structured candidates with an evidence chain, for you to orchestrate yourself. We do not generate an answer — you get "structured results + evidence metadata". How it differs from other endpoints: you do not need to know which endpoint to call first — just ask in plain language; we resolve the symbol and intent, then fetch. Every row carries an evidence object: endpoint / params / field_path / value / value_hash (16 chars) / hash_alg. Re-fetch with the same endpoint + params, recompute sha256 over the same record, and you should get the same value_hash — you do not have to trust us. ⚠️ Paid tier — Standard (¥29.9) and above. ⭐ scope (optional): ashare (our own data) · notice,news,report (filings / news / research) · web (open-web search, requires X-LLM-Key) · wechat (WeChat Official Accounts). ⚠️ With an explicit scope=web/wechat, only that channel is searched — if nothing is found you get an honest ok:false with the reason, never a silent substitute from another channel. ⭐ Web/WeChat rows also carry rerank_score (0–3, ≥1.5 is good) + quality (good/fair), plus sentence-level start_char/end_char. ⭐ replay=true runs one extra model pass to reconcile the output, marking match / non_deterministic / not_replayable / skipped_no_client — off by default; ⚠️ on the model path it is usually non_deterministic, which does not mean the conclusion is unreliable.

GET /v1/agent-search?q=%E5%A4%AA%E6%9E%81%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%9A&scope=
```
 One-liner

```
curl "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/agent-search?q=%E5%A4%AA%E6%9E%81%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%9A&scope=&key=YOUR_KEY"

 Parameters: `q * · scope · depth · max_results · clarify · claim · replay · authority_min · recency` * = required

## Quick start
 Replace the key below with yours (free endpoints need no key):
 curl

```
# 注：q 的值已做 URL 编码（含 [ ] 空格 等）
# 推荐：Authorization 头（密钥不进日志）
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
 "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/agent-search?q=%E5%A4%AA%E6%9E%81%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%9A&scope="

# 快速测试：直接浏览器打开（?key= 会留在日志/历史里，别用于生产）
curl "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/agent-search?q=%E5%A4%AA%E6%9E%81%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%9A&scope=&key=YOUR_KEY"
```
 Python

```
import requests

r = requests.get(
 "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/agent-search",
 headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"},
 params={"q": "太极实业"},
 timeout=30,
)
print(r.json())
```
 JavaScript

```
const r = await fetch("https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/agent-search?q=%E5%A4%AA%E6%9E%81%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%9A&scope=", {
 headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_KEY" },
});
console.log(await r.json());
```

## Parameters
 |
| | Parameter | Type | Required | Description

| | q | string | Yes | Keyword: a stock name (Chinese works) or a code

| | scope | string | No | Data-source scope (optional): ashare (our own data) / notice,news,report (filings & news) / web (open-web search, needs X-LLM-Key) / wechat (WeChat Official Accounts). Blank = auto-select by the question.

| | depth | string | No | Depth: fast / standard (default) / deep — controls the time and tool-call budget.

| | max_results | integer | No | Maximum number of result rows (default 10, max 50).

| | clarify | boolean | No | Only disambiguate the symbol; do not fetch data (returns 1–4 options with explanations).

| | claim | string | No | The assertion text to verify (optional). Only when provided can the result be marked contradicted.

| | replay | boolean | No | Replay reconciliation (optional, default false). Runs one extra model pass and compares the output: match / non_deterministic / not_replayable / skipped_no_client. ⚠️ On the model path it is usually non_deterministic — this does not mean the conclusion is unreliable.

| | authority_min | number | No | Minimum authority score (0–1). Rows below it are filtered out; the number dropped is echoed in dropped_by_authority.

| | recency | string | No | Time window, e.g. 7d / 24h (optional). Out-of-window items are still returned but marked unverified.

 `q` string Yes
 Keyword: a stock name (Chinese works) or a code

 `scope` string
 Data-source scope (optional): ashare (our own data) / notice,news,report (filings & news) / web (open-web search, needs X-LLM-Key) / wechat (WeChat Official Accounts). Blank = auto-select by the question.

 `depth` string
 Depth: fast / standard (default) / deep — controls the time and tool-call budget.

 `max_results` integer
 Maximum number of result rows (default 10, max 50).

 `clarify` boolean
 Only disambiguate the symbol; do not fetch data (returns 1–4 options with explanations).

 `claim` string
 The assertion text to verify (optional). Only when provided can the result be marked contradicted.

 `replay` boolean
 Replay reconciliation (optional, default false). Runs one extra model pass and compares the output: match / non_deterministic / not_replayable / skipped_no_client. ⚠️ On the model path it is usually non_deterministic — this does not mean the conclusion is unreliable.

 `authority_min` number
 Minimum authority score (0–1). Rows below it are filtered out; the number dropped is echoed in dropped_by_authority.

 `recency` string
 Time window, e.g. 7d / 24h (optional). Out-of-window items are still returned but marked unverified.

## Response fields
 The table below is captured from **real API calls** (not inferred): each row gives the field name, its type and one real sample value, so you can align your parser.

 Response
 Unified envelope: `{ ok, endpoint, tier, elapsed_ms, source, data }`
 Rows live in `data`; when upstream returns nothing you get `ok:false` and **the call is not counted**.

 Rate limits & quota
 Free endpoints need no key (anonymous 5/min — 250 bars per request, 100k rows per day; solve one PoW challenge for 15/min). Paid tiers: Trial 30 · Standard 120 · Pro 300 · Unlimited 600 per minute; buyout packs are capped by total calls and never expire.

## FAQ

### General (applies to every endpoint)
 Do these endpoints need an API key?
 **Free endpoints do not**: health, challenge, quote, kline, hot, market-overview and changedist work anonymously. **Paid endpoints do**: send `Authorization: Bearer `. ⚠️ The anonymous allowance is **tiered by caller type**: browsers (humans) get **5/min**; scripts, SDKs and AI Agents (curl, requests, axios, openai user-agent strings) get **2/min** — automated traffic is easier to abuse. Solving one PoW challenge (`GET /v1/challenge`, then send the `X-PoW` header) raises it to **15/min** regardless of type. ⚠️ Also, anonymous calls are capped at **250 bars per request and 100k rows per day** — use an API key for the full 1212 bars or unlimited daily volume.

 Am I charged when the upstream returns nothing or errors?
 **No.** When the upstream fails or returns nothing you get `ok:false` and the charge for that call is **refunded** (total_calls / usage_log / ep_log are rolled back together). Only calls that actually returned data count.

 How fresh is the data?
 Quotes (quote / kline / orderbook / changedist) are **real-time or current session**; financials, shareholders, dividends and events are **within T+1 of upstream disclosure**. The `source` field in every response tells you which data channel actually served it.

 Can I request several stocks in one call?
 **No.** `code` is a single-value parameter — one stock per call. For batches, issue concurrent calls and respect your tier per-minute limit.

 How do I use this from Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT?
 Set up MCP once, then just ask the AI — it calls the endpoint itself. MCP exposes 39 tools covering quotes, financials, screening, sectors and macro.
