Quick Start

Setup

Get your API key from the J-Quants dashboard and set it:

export JQUANTS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Basic Usage

import pyjquants as pjq

# Create a ticker - data is lazy-loaded from API
ticker = pjq.Ticker("7203")  # Toyota

# Access info (fetched on first access, then cached)
ticker.info.name            # "トヨタ自動車"
ticker.info.name_english    # "Toyota Motor Corporation"
ticker.info.sector          # "輸送用機器"
ticker.info.market          # "Prime"

# Get price history (yfinance-style)
df = ticker.history("30d")        # Recent 30 days
df = ticker.history("1y")         # Last year
df = ticker.history(start="2024-01-01", end="2024-06-30")  # Custom range

# Financial data
ticker.financials           # Financial statements
ticker.dividends            # Dividend history

Multi-Ticker Download

import pyjquants as pjq

# Download multiple tickers at once
df = pjq.download(["7203", "6758", "9984"], period="30d")

Search

import pyjquants as pjq

# Search by name or code
tickers = pjq.search("トヨタ")
for t in tickers:
    print(f"{t.code}: {t.info.name}")

Market Indices

import pyjquants as pjq

# Get TOPIX index
topix = pjq.Index.topix()
df = topix.history("1y")

# Get Nikkei 225
nikkei = pjq.Index.nikkei225()
df = nikkei.history("30d")

Market Information

import pyjquants as pjq
from datetime import date

market = pjq.Market()

# Check trading days
market.is_trading_day(date(2024, 12, 25))  # False (holiday)
market.next_trading_day(date(2024, 1, 1))  # Next open day

# Sector information
market.sectors_17  # 17-sector classification
market.sectors_33  # 33-sector classification
