A-share northbound holdings by sector (quarterly) API
Foreign (northbound) holdings by A-share sector, published quarterly; 20 sectors measured. data rows: plate_code / plate_name / raw (includes holding value columns). Top-level: date (the actual reporting period) / total_net (CNY, can be negative) / total_hold (CNY) / available_dates (7 quarter-ends). How to use it: total_net shows whether foreign money is net in or out; go sector by sector to see which line is being added. You must pass a quarter-end date (e.g. 2026-09-30); empty picks the latest quarter-end automatically, and a non-quarter-end date returns empty (not a fault). This is sector level, not per-stock holdings. Not the same as /v1/fund-south (Stock Connect southbound into HK) - this one is A-share northbound. Paid tier - Unlimited only.

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.

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.
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.

General (applies to every endpoint)
Free endpoints do not: health, challenge, quote, kline, hot, market-overview and changedist work anonymously. Paid endpoints do: send Authorization: Bearer <your key>. ⚠️ 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.
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.
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.
No. code is a single-value parameter — one stock per call. For batches, issue concurrent calls and respect your tier per-minute limit.
