twstock endpoints --search "bwibbu" --with-fields --json  # show fields

Sources: 143 TWSE OpenAPI + 9 TWSE Web API + 207 TPEX OpenAPI = 359 endpoints.

Categories: stock (45), company (86), broker (9), other (4), otc (64), otc_company (29), otc_index (18), otc_esg (16), otc_financial (32), otc_warrant (16), otc_bond (8), otc_broker (8), otc_esb (5), otc_gisa (5), otc_fund (3), otc_gold (3), web (8).

twstock schema stock.stock-day-all --json

twstock serve

Start as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on stdio.

twstock serve

Exposes tools: twstock_fetch, twstock_endpoints, twstock_schema. Requires mcp extra.
