efinance 命令行终端

efinance-cli

Market data in your terminal, shaped for humans, scripts, and agents.

Search instruments, resolve quote IDs, inspect live quotes, review history, export datasets, and read indicator-rich observation output from one consistent command tree.

Discoverable A task-shaped command tree makes it easier to find the right entrypoint than browsing raw upstream functions.

Readable The CLI keeps terminal output consistent across table, json, csv, and tsv, with observation as the default view.

Indicator-rich Compatible commands can be enriched with a broad built-in technical-indicator set for screening, review, and downstream analysis.

Installation

Install the published PyPI package the-efinance-cli. The package exposes both efinance and efi.

uv uv add -U the-efinance-cli efinance --help

pip pip install -U the-efinance-cli efinance --help

Python 3.10+ is required.

What This Tool Is

efinance-cli is a product layer on top of efinance, not a loose script collection.

It reorganizes upstream capability into a public command tree that is easier to browse from a terminal, easier to automate from scripts, and easier to consume in structured output. The goal is not to replace the upstream market-data library. The goal is to make that capability more stable and more usable from a CLI.

30-Second Start

1. Search first efinance search --query AAPL --market US_stock --result-count 5 --format json Start here when you only know a ticker, keyword, or company name.

2. Resolve quote_id efinance resolve quote-id --symbol AAPL --market us_stock --format json Common US instruments resolve into identifiers such as 105.AAPL.

3. Query market data efinance stock price history --symbols AAPL --market us_stock --start-date 20250102 --end-date 20250501 --format json Continue from there into history, latest quotes, watch loops, and export workflows.

Main Functions

Instrument discovery Search instruments by keyword. Resolve symbols into quote_id. Move from discovery into quote and history queries without switching tools.	Cross-asset data access Query stocks, funds, bonds, futures, and market-level live data. Read both latest quotes and historical series. Run refresh loops with one shared watch model.
Structured output Export as table, json, csv, or tsv. Use observation as the default public-facing view. Fallback to raw when downstream consumers need the unwrapped shape.	Indicator enrichment Choose basic, advanced, or full. Expose trend, momentum, volatility, volume, and structure indicators. Produce richer market context for review, screening, and automation.

Command Map

Top-level command	Role	Typical use
search	Keyword-based discovery.	Find candidates before you know the exact identifier.
resolve	Identifier resolution.	Turn a symbol into a reusable quote_id.
quote	Cross-asset quote access.	Use when the quote_id is already known.
market	Market-level queries.	Run live scans and market-mapping style lookups.
stock	Stock-oriented queries.	History, snapshots, live lists, flows, holders, and profiles.
fund	Fund-oriented queries.	NAV history, live estimates, allocation, managers, and reports.
bond	Bond-oriented queries.	Profiles, price history, live lists, trades, and flows.
futures	Futures-oriented queries.	Catalog, history, live quotes, and trade detail.
watch	Refresh wrapper.	Repeat a supported subcommand on a shared polling loop.

Output Model

Current real defaults --format table --indicator-level advanced --view observation --trace-window 32

Practical notes observation is the default public-facing view. Pass --view raw when you want the unwrapped payload shape. json is usually the best target for downstream programs. full gives richer indicator context than advanced, but costs more work.

Output or runtime flag	Purpose
--format table|json|csv|tsv	Choose terminal view or export-friendly structured output.
--full	Print more complete result content.
--transpose	Transpose tabular output for easier terminal reading in some cases.
--no-index	Hide row indices in table output.
--limit N	Keep only the first N rows in the rendered result.
--output PATH	Write the rendered result to a file.
--encoding utf-8	Set file-output encoding.
--watch --interval --count --clear/--no-clear	Run supported commands on a refresh loop.

Indicator Coverage

efinance-cli ships with a broad built-in indicator set. Compatible commands can expose far more than raw quotes, which makes the CLI useful for screening, review, and downstream analytics.

Notes

Data-source boundaries The CLI depends on upstream market-data availability. Realtime stability depends on network conditions and source-side behavior. Some commands support richer indicator enrichment than others.

Usage boundaries Use side-effect commands such as report download intentionally. Prefer json when another program will consume the result. Prefer observation when a human or agent needs concise market context instead of raw tables.
