• Historical data — daily/weekly/monthly OHLCV with custom date ranges
• Market overview — TASI index, gainers, losers, volume/value leaders, sectors
• Company info — fundamentals, technicals, valuation, analyst consensus (by plan)
• Financials — income statements, balance sheets, cash flow
• Dividends — history, yield, upcoming payments
• Events — AI-generated stock event summaries

Installation

pip install sahmk

Or clone this repo for local development:

git clone https://github.com/sahmk-sa/sahmk-python.git
cd sahmk-python
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

from sahmk import SahmkClient

client = SahmkClient("your_api_key")

# Get a stock quote
quote = client.quote("2222")
print(f"{quote['name_en']}: {quote['price']} SAR ({quote['change_percent']}%)")

# Get market summary
market = client.market_summary()
print(f"TASI: {market['index_value']} ({market['index_change_percent']}%)")

# Batch quotes (Starter+ plan)
result = client.quotes(["2222", "1120", "4191"])
for q in result["quotes"]:
    print(f"{q['symbol']}: {q['price']}")

CLI Quick Start

The package also installs a CLI for instant testing:

export SAHMK_API_KEY="your_api_key"
sahmk quote 2222
sahmk market gainers --limit 5
sahmk historical 2222 --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-01-28

You can also pass the key directly:

sahmk quote 2222 --api-key your_api_key

Retries and Rate Limits

The client automatically retries transient failures (429 rate-limit and 5xx server errors) with exponential backoff:

# Defaults: 3 retries, 0.5s backoff factor (0.5s, 1s, 2s delays)
client = SahmkClient("your_api_key")

# Customize retry behavior
client = SahmkClient("your_api_key", retries=5, backoff_factor=1.0)

# Disable retries entirely
client = SahmkClient("your_api_key", retries=0)

Rate limit errors include metadata from the API:

from sahmk import SahmkRateLimitError

try:
    quote = client.quote("2222")
except SahmkRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after: {e.retry_after}s")
    print(f"Remaining: {e.rate_remaining}/{e.rate_limit}")

WebSocket Streaming (Pro+)

import asyncio
from sahmk import SahmkClient

client = SahmkClient("your_api_key")

async def on_quote(msg):
    symbol = msg["symbol"]
    price = msg["data"]["price"]
    print(f"{symbol}: {price}")

asyncio.run(client.stream(["2222", "1120"], on_quote=on_quote))

Auto-Reconnect

The streaming client automatically reconnects on disconnect with exponential backoff. All symbols are resubscribed after reconnection.

async def on_disconnect(reason):
    print(f"Disconnected: {reason}")

async def on_reconnect(attempt):
    print(f"Reconnecting (attempt #{attempt})...")

await client.stream(
    ["2222", "1120"],
    on_quote=on_quote,
    on_disconnect=on_disconnect,
    on_reconnect=on_reconnect,
    # max_reconnect_attempts=0 means unlimited (default)
    # Set to -1 to disable reconnect entirely
)
