Usage Examples

Query Stocks with P/E Ratio Below 20

import pywencai

# Use natural language to query low P/E ratio stocks
res = pywencai.get(query='市盈率小于20的股票', cookie='xxx')
print(res)

Get Delisted Stocks Sorted by Date

import pywencai

# Query delisted stocks, sorted by delisting date in ascending order
res = pywencai.get(
    query='退市股票',
    sort_key='退市@退市日期',  # Specify the sort field
    sort_order='asc',          # Ascending order
    cookie='xxx'
)
print(res)

Paginate Through All Data with a Proxy

import pywencai

# Configure HTTP proxy
proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy:8080', 'https': 'http://proxy:8080'}

# loop=True auto-paginates to fetch all data; log=True prints request logs
res = pywencai.get(
    query='昨日涨幅',
    sort_order='asc',          # Ascending order
    loop=True,                 # Fetch all pages automatically
    log=True,                  # Print log messages
    cookie='xxx',
    request_params={'proxies': proxies}  # Pass proxy configuration
)
print(res)

Query Index Data

import pywencai

# Set query_type='zhishu' to query index data
res = pywencai.get(
    query='上证指数近5日涨跌幅',
    query_type='zhishu',       # Set query type to index
    cookie='xxx'
)
print(res)

Query Convertible Bond Data

import pywencai

# Set query_type='conbond' to query convertible bond data
res = pywencai.get(
    query='可转债溢价率小于10%',
    query_type='conbond',      # Set query type to convertible bond
    cookie='xxx'
)
print(res)

Tips

• Use sparingly — High-frequency calls may get you blocked by the WenCai server.
• Always use the latest version: pip install pywencai --upgrade
• Query strings use Chinese natural language — write queries as you would search on the WenCai website.
• When loop=True and find is set, loop is ignored and only the first 100 results are returned.
• For paid data, set pro=True and provide a valid cookie.
