These 22 entry points cover the whole chain. In one sentence **HK data = index universe (constituents/quotes) + per-stock fundamentals (financials / shareholders / dividends) + analyst view (ratings / target price / consensus) + money (southbound holdings / short selling / money flow)**. Drop any one leg and the conclusion does not hold. ## Pick the entry point by the question No need to force one endpoint — 22 entries are available; these four cover the common cases: | | | Your question | Entry point | What you get | | "What is in the Hang Seng / TECH index?" | [/v1/index-constituent](/docs/endpoints/index-constituent) · [/v1/index-list](/docs/endpoints/index-list) · `/v1/screen?market=hk` | Hang Seng / HSCEI / Hang Seng TECH constituents (20 each); a list of 1,223 indices; HK rankings and screening | | "How is this company doing?" | [/v1/finance](/en/docs/endpoints/finance) · `/v1/shareholder` · `/v1/dividend` · `/v1/profile` | Financial statements, shareholders, dividends, company profile | | "What do analysts think?" | [/v1/rating](/docs/endpoints/rating) · [/v1/consensus](/docs/endpoints/consensus) | Average / max / min target price + rating distribution (45 buy / 2 hold / 1 sell) + analyst count; forward EPS / revenue / profit | | "Where is the money going?" | [/v1/fund-flow](/docs/endpoints/fund-flow) · [/v1/fund-south](/docs/endpoints/fund-south) · [/v1/fund-short](/docs/endpoints/fund-short) | Main vs retail net buy/sell; quarterly southbound holdings and ratio; daily short-selling ratio "What is in the Hang Seng / TECH index?"

HK consensus has no `targetPrice`, only forecast columns. ## An agent can work from this page alone Once wired as MCP tools, an agent can answer these directly: | | | User asks | Agent calls | Note | | "What is in Hang Seng TECH?" | `ashare_index_constituent(code="hkHSTECH")` | One index per call | | "What is the target price?" | `ashare_rating(codes="hk00700")` | Target is `targetPriceAvg`, 49 analysts | | "How much of Tencent is shorted?" | `ashare_fund_short(code="hk00700", date="2026-10-15")` | ⚠️ without `date` only identifier fields | | "How much does southbound hold?" | `ashare_fund_south(codes="hk00700")` | Quarterly; ratio is `持有比例(%)` | | "Is main money buying today?" | `ashare_fund_flow(code="hk00700")` | `MainNetFlow` is in HKD | | "When do they report?" | `ashare_disclosure(codes="hk00700")` | ⚠️ HK date often sits in `disclosureDesc` "What is in Hang Seng TECH?" `ashare_index_constituent(code="hkHSTECH")` One index per call "What is the target price?" `ashare_rating(codes="hk00700")` Target is `targetPriceAvg`, 49 analysts "How much of Tencent is shorted?" `ashare_fund_short(code="hk00700", date="2026-10-15")` ⚠️ without `date` only identifier fields "How much does southbound hold?" `ashare_fund_south(codes="hk00700")` Quarterly; ratio is `持有比例(%)` "Is main money buying today?" `ashare_fund_flow(code="hk00700")` `MainNetFlow` is in HKD "When do they report?" `ashare_disclosure(codes="hk00700")` ⚠️ HK date often sits in `disclosureDesc` ⚠️ **Four rules for agents**: (1) HK codes are **5 digits** (`hk00700`); (2) [/v1/fund](/en/docs/endpoints/fund) **cannot query HK** (A-share composite) — use [/v1/fund-flow](/docs/endpoints/fund-flow); (3) [/v1/chip](/en/docs/endpoints/chip), `/v1/sector`, `/v1/hot`, `/v1/lhb` **do not support HK**; (4) [/v1/rating](/docs/endpoints/rating) accepts HK/US only — A-shares return 422. ## Boundaries up front (7 items) These are data limitations, not unfinished endpoints: No chip distribution for HK [/v1/chip](/en/docs/endpoints/chip) covers Shanghai/Shenzhen A-shares only. There is no substitute for HK cost-basis data. HK K-lines take no date range Only `count` (last N bars); `start`/`end` are A-share only. The A-share "Stock Connect holdings" endpoint does not apply [/v1/fund](/en/docs/endpoints/fund) is the A-share composite (LHB / block / margin) and returns 422 for HK — use `fund-flow` / `fund-south` / `fund-short`. Short selling needs a date Without it, and before publication, only `code`/`name`/`EndDate`/`ClosePrice` come back. HK consensus has no target price [/v1/consensus](/docs/endpoints/consensus) returns forecast columns for HK (`epsForecast` / `netProfitForecast` / …) with `targetPrice` as `null`. Use [/v1/rating](/docs/endpoints/rating) for targets. HK index constituents use Chinese keys A-share indices return `code`/`name`/`IndexName`; HK returns `代码`/`名称`/`涨跌幅`/`成交额` — do not reuse one parser for both. No full history for HK K-lines Capped at 1,212 bars; `/v1/kline-full` only covers A-shares. ## FAQ How do I write an HK code? **5 digits with hk prefix**: Tencent `hk00700`, Meituan `hk03690`. A-shares use 6 digits (`sh600519`); use `/v1/search` if unsure. Can I query several HK stocks at once? For money-side endpoints yes: [/v1/fund-south](/docs/endpoints/fund-south), [/v1/rating](/docs/endpoints/rating), [/v1/consensus](/docs/endpoints/consensus) accept comma lists. But [/v1/index-constituent](/docs/endpoints/index-constituent) takes **one index per call** (comma returns empty). Why does the PE field fail for HK? HK/US use `PeTTM` (case-sensitive); A-shares use `PE_TTM` — relevant when calling `/v1/screen?market=hk`. Is HK data available on the free tier? [/v1/quote](/en/docs/endpoints/quote), [/v1/kline](/en/docs/endpoints/kline), `/v1/hot` work without a key for HK quotes. Financials, ratings, money flow and indices need Standard (¥29.9) or Pro (¥99). Is "money flow = 0 before open" a data gap? No. Some money-flow fields are zero pre-market and recover during the session. ## Go deeper Related docs: [HK capability audit (22 entries + measurements) 18 command-level + 4 sub-command-level · convention differences · unsupported list](/en/docs)[Index constituents endpoint A-share vs HK field differences · three HK indices](/docs/endpoints/index-constituent)[Screening endpoint (market=hk) HK rankings · theme pools · why factor screening does not apply](/en/docs/endpoints/screen) Try it with one HK stock [/v1/quote](/en/docs/endpoints/quote) and [/v1/kline](/en/docs/endpoints/kline) are free without a key; ratings, money flow and constituents need a paid tier.
