Overview
AKShare requires Python(64 bit) 3.11 or higher and aims to simplify the process of fetching financial data.
Write less, get more!
- Documentation: 中文文档
- MCP server for AI assistants: AKTools lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients fetch AKShare data in natural language — see AI Assistants (MCP)
- HTTP API: AKTools also serves AKShare over HTTP for other programming languages
AI Assistants (MCP)
AKShare is a Python library and does not run an MCP server itself. Its companion
project AKTools ships one — registered in
the official MCP Registry
as io.github.akfamily/aktools — so AI assistants such as Claude Code, Claude
Desktop and Cursor can look up and call every AKShare interface from a
natural-language question, e.g. "贵州茅台 2024 年 10 月 8 日到 11 日的前复权日线行情".
No separate install is needed beyond uv:
claude mcp add aktools -- uvx --from aktools aktools-mcp
Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aktools": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "aktools", "aktools-mcp"]
}
}
}
Instead of registering 1000+ tools, it exposes three generic ones that the assistant chains together:
| Tool | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| search_interfaces | Find interface names by keyword |
| describe_interface | Show an interface's parameters, defaults and description |
| get_data | Call an interface and return up to max_rows rows (default 100, max 1000) |
A running python -m aktools server also exposes the same tools over Streamable
HTTP at http://127.0.0.1:8080/mcp. See the
MCP guide (中文) for HTTP mode, proxies,
access tokens and LAN access.
Installation
uv (Recommended)
uv pip install akshare --upgrade
See the uv environment guide for installing uv and creating a virtual environment.
pip
pip install akshare --upgrade
China
uv pip install akshare --upgrade --default-index https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
# or

Usage
Data
Code:
import akshare as ak
stock_zh_a_hist_df = ak.stock_zh_a_hist(symbol="000001", period="daily", start_date="20170301", end_date="20231022", adjust="")
print(stock_zh_a_hist_df)
Output:

Search
AKShare ships an offline interface registry, so you can look up an interface by keyword without leaving Python and without any network request. This is especially handy for LLM-driven programs that need to resolve a description into a callable interface name.
Code:
import akshare as ak
search_df = ak.search("可转债 实时行情", limit=5)
print(search_df)
# full metadata of a single interface: params, output columns and a usage example
interface_info_dict = ak.interface_info("bond_cb_jsl")
print(interface_info_dict)
Output:
接口名 类目 描述 有无文档 匹配分
0 bond_cb_jsl bond 集思录可转债实时数据,包含行情数据(涨跌幅,成交量和换手率等)及可转债基本信息(转股价,溢价率和到期收益率等) True 27.0
1 bond_zh_hs_cov_min bond 东方财富网-可转债-分时行情 True 20.0
2 bond_zh_hs_cov_pre_min bond 东方财富网-可转债-分时行情-盘前分时 True 20.0
3 bond_cov_comparison bond 东方财富网-行情中心-债券市场-可转债比价表 True 17.0
4 fund_etf_spot_em fund 东方财富-ETF 实时行情 True 17.0
Passing a full interface name always ranks that interface first, which makes it a reliable way to confirm a half-remembered name. Note this is keyword matching rather than semantic search — see the interface search docs for what it can and cannot do.
Plot
Code:
import akshare as ak
import mplfinance as mpf # Please install mplfinance as follows: pip install mplfinance
stock_us_daily_df = ak.stock_us_daily(symbol="AAPL", adjust="qfq")
stock_us_daily_df = stock_us_daily_df.set_index(["date"])
stock_us_daily_df = stock_us_daily_df["2020-04-01": "2020-04-29"]
mpf.plot(stock_us_daily_df, type="candle", mav=(3, 6, 9), volume=True, show_nontrading=False)
Features
- Ease of use: Just one line code to fetch the data;
- Extensible: Easy to customize your own code with other application;
