Tencent Finance

Overview

Tencent Finance provides free, real-time stock quotes and historical K-line data for China A-shares (Shanghai/Shenzhen) and Hong Kong stocks. No registration or API key required.

• Real-time quotes: qt.gtimg.cn — millisecond-level price updates
• K-line data: web.ifzq.gtimg.cn/appstock/app/fqkline/get — daily/weekly/monthly

The project has a built-in Tencent DataLoader (backtest/loaders/tencent.py). When backtesting, set source: "tencent" or rely on source: "auto" (Tencent is the #4 fallback for A-shares after mootdx/tushare/eastmoney, #3 for HK stocks after yfinance/Futu).

Quick Start

The DataLoader handles code normalization automatically. No separate setup needed.

from backtest.loaders.tencent import DataLoader, normalize_cn_code, normalize_hk_code

loader = DataLoader()

# Fetch historical K-lines
data = loader.fetch(
    codes=["000001.SZ", "600519.SH"],
    start_date="2025-01-01",
    end_date="2025-12-31",
    interval="1D",
)

# Fetch real-time quote
quote = loader.fetch_quote("000001.SZ")
# Returns: {symbol, name, last, change, change_percent, open, high, low,
#           previous_close, volume, amount, turnover, pe, market_cap}

Code Format

Market	Project Format	Tencent Format	Example

Real-time Quote Fields

The quote endpoint returns ~50 fields. Key fields:

Index	Field	Description
1	name	Stock name (GBK-decoded)
2	symbol	Exchange-tagged code
3	last	Current price
4	prev_close	Previous close
5	open	Today's open
6	volume	Volume (手)
33	high	Today's high
34	low	Today's low
37	amount	Turnover (万元)
38	turnover_rate	Turnover rate (%)
39	pe	P/E ratio
45	market_cap	Total market cap (亿元)

K-line Adjustment Modes

Mode	Param	Description
qfq	前复权	Forward-adjusted (default in AStockPursue)
hfq	后复权	Backward-adjusted
(none)	不复权	Unadjusted

Limitations

• No minute-level K-lines: Tencent fqkline supports day/week/month only. Use AKShare for minute bars.
• GBK encoding: Responses are GBK-encoded. The DataLoader handles this automatically.
• No US stocks: Tencent only covers CN/HK markets.

Fallback Position

In the auto-routing chain, Tencent is positioned as a fast, free fallback:

• A-shares: tushare → tencent → twelvedata → akshare
• HK stocks: yfinance → futu → tencent → twelvedata → akshare
