SAHMK Python SDK

Official Python SDK for Sahmk — Saudi market data and richer market workflows for developers.

Use one client for live Tadawul quotes, market-level insights, company/fundamental data, financials, events, and historical series.

Features

• Real-time quotes for 350+ Tadawul stocks
• Batch quotes for up to 50 symbols per request
• Historical OHLCV data with date-range support
• Market overview with index scoping (TASI/NOMU)
• Company directory endpoint for symbol discovery
• Company/fundamental data (plan-dependent fields)
• Financials, dividends, and events endpoints (by plan)
• WebSocket streaming for real-time updates (Pro+)

Installation

pip install sahmk

For local development:

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

Security

• Use environment variables for API keys (recommended: SAHMK_API_KEY).
• Never commit API keys to source control, notebooks, or logs.
• If a key is exposed, rotate it immediately from your Sahmk dashboard.

Quick Start

import os
from sahmk import SahmkClient

client = SahmkClient(os.environ["SAHMK_API_KEY"])

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

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

# Batch quotes are Starter+ plan.
for q in client.quotes(["2222", "1120", "7010"])["quotes"]:
    print(f"{q['symbol']}: {q['price']}")

Identifier Resolution (Quotes)

quote() and quotes() accept either traditional symbols or resolvable identifiers:

• Symbol: "2222"
• Arabic company name: "أرامكو السعودية"
• English company name/alias: "Aramco"

Symbol input always works. Name/alias input requires backend identifier-resolution support. For batch quotes, the SDK first tries identifiers=..., then automatically falls back to legacy symbols=... when connected to older backends.

q1 = client.quote("2222")              # classic symbol usage
q2 = client.quote("أرامكو السعودية")   # Arabic identifier
q3 = client.quote("Aramco")            # English alias

batch = client.quotes(["2222", "الراجحي", "SABIC"])
for q in batch.quotes:
    print(q.requested_identifier, "=>", q.symbol)

if batch.ambiguous:
    print("Ambiguous:", batch.ambiguous)
if batch.unknown:
    print("Unknown:", batch.unknown)

When the backend returns resolution metadata, it is exposed on typed objects:

quote = client.quote("Aramco")
print(quote.requested_identifier)      # Aramco
print(quote.resolved_symbol)           # 2222
print(quote.resolution.matched_by)     # alias (if provided by API)

Company Directory / Symbol Discovery

Use companies() as the canonical symbol-discovery path before calling quote() or company().

# Search by symbol or name
directory = client.companies(search="aram")
for row in directory["results"]:
    print(row["symbol"], row.get("name_en") or row.get("name"))

# Filter by market (TASI / NOMU, NOMUC alias is accepted)
nomu_companies = client.companies(market="NOMUC", limit=20)
print(nomu_companies["count"])

# Pagination loop with offset
offset = 0
page_size = 100

while True:
    page = client.companies(limit=page_size, offset=offset)
    for company in page["results"]:
        print(company["symbol"])

    offset += page_size
    if offset >= page["total"]:
        break

Recommended flow:

1. Discover valid symbols with companies().
2. Call quote(symbol) / company(symbol) with a validated symbol.

Production Reliability

• The client retries transient failures: HTTP 429 and 5xx errors.
• Defaults: retries=3, backoff_factor=0.5 (0.5s, 1s, 2s).
• Invalid symbols, authentication failures, and plan-access errors are not retryable.

from sahmk import SahmkClient

client = SahmkClient("your_api_key", retries=3, backoff_factor=0.5)

Plan Behavior

Some methods are plan-gated (for example quotes, historical, financials, dividends, events). When your plan does not include an endpoint, the API returns an error response (not retried automatically).

CLI Quick Start

export SAHMK_API_KEY="your_api_key"
sahmk quote 2222
sahmk market summary --index NOMU
sahmk market gainers --limit 5 --index NOMUC
sahmk historical 2222 --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-01-28
sahmk company 2222
sahmk financials 2222
sahmk dividends 2222
sahmk events --symbol 2222 --limit 5
sahmk stream 2222,1120

You can also pass the key directly:

sahmk quote 2222 --api-key your_api_key

Typed Responses

All methods return typed objects with IDE autocomplete while preserving dict-style access.

quote = client.quote("2222")
print(quote.price)
print(quote.liquidity.net_value)

# Backwards-compatible dict access
print(quote["price"])
print(quote.get("volume"))
print(quote.raw)

Financials & Analytics

client.financials("1120", history="3y", result="latest")
client.ratios("1120")
client.ratios("1120", history="5y", period="quarterly", metrics="extended")
client.compare(["1120", "1180", "1010"])
client.compare(["1120", "1180", "1010", "2222"], metrics="extended")

Market Index Scoping

Supported values:

• TASI
• NOMU
• NOMUC alias (normalized to NOMU)

summary = client.market_summary(index="NOMUC")
print(summary.index)       # NOMU
print(summary.is_delayed)  # True/False by entitlement

Examples

Example scripts:

• quote.py
• batch_quotes.py
• historical.py
• market_summary.py
• websocket_stream.py

WebSocket Streaming (Pro+)

import asyncio
from sahmk import SahmkClient

client = SahmkClient("your_api_key")

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

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

The streaming client auto-reconnects with exponential backoff and resubscribes symbols.
