It wraps HTTP requests to eastmoney's endpoints and parses the responses into pandas DataFrames, making it straightforward to pull candlestick data at various frequencies (daily, 5-minute, etc.) for use in backtesting, analysis, or live trading systems.\n\nThe package supports lookups by stock code (e.g., '600519' for a Shanghai stock) or by name, and also handles international tickers like AAPL and MSFT. Its eight runtime dependencies\u2014requests, pandas, beautifulsoup4, tqdm, retry, multitasking, jsonpath, and rich\u2014handle HTTP transport, data parsing, progress display, and retry logic. The library is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities, though it explicitly disclaims commercial use in its documentation.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Chinese market data and accept the learning-only disclaimer. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, installs easily, and integrates well with pandas workflows. If you require commercial-grade data reliability or non-Chinese markets as a primary use case, verify eastmoney's stability and coverage first, or consider a dedicated financial data API."},"id":"efinance","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/efinance","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/efinance.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/efinance/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"efinance","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A finance tool to get stock,fund and futures data base on eastmoney"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":341759,"position":7400,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.9"}
