What problem does it solve?
Tushare consolidates many Chinese financial and market datasets behind a standardized API, removing the friction of finding, authenticating, and fetching time-series, fundamental, and alternative market data from multiple sources. This Skill documents the endpoints, shows concrete Python examples, and helps users configure token-based access so they can programmatically retrieve data without manual web scraping or fragmented APIs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive data coverage: access stock lists, daily and minute-level market data, ETFs, funds, bonds, futures, options, macroeconomic indicators, and curated news and policy corpora.
- Python-first examples: runnable example scripts (stock_data_example.py, fund_data_example.py) that demonstrate token setup, pro_api initialization, and common queries returning pandas DataFrames.
- Practical scenarios: quantitative research backtests, portfolio monitoring, fund holdings extraction, macro event analysis, and newsroom or model-training data collection.
Quick Start
