Real-time quote API

Real-time quote for A-shares, HK and US (lightweight, 8 fields): last price, open/high/low, volume, amount, turnover rate. ⚠️ `data` is an ARRAY (30 daily bars by default, `data[0]` is the latest) — read the current price from `data[0].last`. ⚠️ The turnover rate field is named `turnover` (in %) — the same name and value as `/v1/snapshot` (e.g. sz000001 = 0.54 in both). ⚠️ Renamed 2026-09-26: it used to be `exchange`, an upstream name that reads like "exchange" the venue. ⚠️ Does NOT include valuation / market cap — use /v1/snapshot for those (35 fields, pro tier, A-shares only).

# 免费端点:无需 API Key(匿名即可调用)
curl "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/quote?code=sh600667"
Python
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/quote",
    params={"code": "sh600667"},
    timeout=30,
)
print(r.json())
JavaScript
const r = await fetch("https://api.ashareapi.com/v1/quote?code=sh600667");
console.log(await r.json());

Parameters

codestringYes
Stock code with market prefix: sh600667 (SH), sz000001 (SZ), hk00700 (HK), usAAPL (US)
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; solve one PoW challenge for 60/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 60/min regardless of type.

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 24 tools covering quotes, financials, screening, sectors and macro.

Use it from an AI Agent?
