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"]
    }
  }
}

Add AKTools MCP server to Cursor

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
pip install akshare --upgrade -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

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
