Usage Examples

Async Usage

from klse_screener import get_klse_fundamentals

async def get_data():
    # Run sync function in thread pool
    data = await asyncio.to_thread(get_klse_fundamentals, "5132.KL")
    return data

asyncio.run(get_data())

Batch Processing

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
from klse_screener import get_klse_fundamentals

stocks = ["5132.KL", "7152.KL", "9172.KL"]

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
    results = list(executor.map(get_klse_fundamentals, stocks))

for stock, data in zip(stocks, results):
    print(f"{stock}: P/E={data.get('pe_ratio')}")

Error Handling

from klse_screener import get_klse_fundamentals

data = get_klse_fundamentals("5132.KL")
if "error" in data:
    print(f"Error: {data['error']}")
else:
    print(f"Success: {data}")

Rate Limiting

• 2-second interval between requests (enforced globally)
• 10 requests/minute maximum
• Automatic backoff on errors

Ticker Format

KLSE tickers use the format {code}.KL:

• 5132.KL - Deleum Berhad
• 7152.KL - Yinson Holdings
• 9172.KL - FPI Corporation

Non-KLSE tickers return empty results (no-op).

Limitations

• 15-minute delayed trading data (per Bursa Malaysia regulations)
• Market sentiment function has limited data (KLSE Screener removed some widgets)
• HTML parsing - may break if KLSE Screener changes layout
