Fetch real-time stock quotes, K-line (candlestick) history, and search symbols for China A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets. Use when the user asks for a stock price, a quote, market data, candlestick/K-line data, or to look up a stock code by company name.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 93 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by zhangxiangliang on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Stock Api AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zhangxiangliang/stock-api.git \
  .claude/skills/stock-api
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Stock Api in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Stock Api on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Stock Api is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

stock-api

Get normalized stock market data by running the stock-api CLI. It covers China A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets, with automatic provider fallback across Tencent, Sina, and Eastmoney.

When to use

  • The user wants a current price or quote for one or more stocks.
  • The user wants K-line / candlestick history for charting or analysis.
  • The user knows a company name but not its code (search first, then quote).

How to run

Use npx stock-api <command>. Every command prints JSON to stdout.

Stock codes use a market prefix: SH / SZ (China), HK (Hong Kong), US (US). Examples: SH510500, SZ000651, HK02020, USDJI.

Get one quote

bash
npx stock-api get-stock SH510500

Get several quotes at once

bash
npx stock-api get-stocks SH510500 SZ000651

Get K-line (candlestick) history

bash
npx stock-api get-klines SH600519 --period week --count 20
  • --periodday (default), week, or month.
  • --count — number of rows (defaults to the provider default).
  • --adjustnone (default), qfq (forward), or hfq (backward).

Search a code by keyword

bash
npx stock-api search-stocks 格力电器

Options (all commands)

  • --sourceauto (default), tencent, sina, or eastmoney. Leave it on auto unless the user asks for a specific provider; auto falls back across providers if one fails.

Notes

  • Output is JSON — parse it, don't reformat by hand, before showing the user.
  • If a code returns no data, try search-stocks to confirm the correct code.
  • For programmatic/persistent use, this same engine is also available as an MCP server: npx stock-api mcp. Prefer the CLI commands above for one-off lookups.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Stock Api AI skill do?

Fetch real-time stock quotes, K-line (candlestick) history, and search symbols for China A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets. Use when the user asks for a stock price, a quote, market data, candlestick/K-line data, or to look up a stock code by company name.

Why use Stock Api on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Stock Api is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Stock Api in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/zhangxiangliang/stock-api/tree/main. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Stock Api?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Stock Api?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Stock Api with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Stock Api AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by zhangxiangliang under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
