Tips

No API key or registration required — works out of the box.
All functions return pandas DataFrame — ready for analysis, export, and visualization.
Column names are Chinese for A-share data, English for US/HK data.
Use --upgrade to keep akshare current — interfaces change frequently as upstream sources evolve.
For non-Python users, use AKTools HTTP API wrapper.
Data is for academic research only — not investment advice.
