Python library to pull ASX stock information via the undocumented API used on www.ASX.com.au.
Main features are;
- Pulling the full list of companies & securities listed on the ASX
- Pulling detailed company information
- Pulling company regulatory annoucements
While PyASX provides pricing information, using AlphaVantage is a better option for up to date & historical price data.
NOTE: This library uses a bunch of undocumented APIs from the ASX.com.au website and thus could go the way of Google & Yahoo finance with the API unceremoniously being killed off.
Install via pip:
$ pip install pyasx
- Company specific data
- Securities data
Pulls a list of all companies listed on the ASX. This will not include anything other than companies, i.e. no EFT/ETPs, options, warrants etc.
Example
>>> import pyasx.data.companies
>>> results = pyasx.data.companies.get_listed_companies()
>>> print(results, indent=4)
[
{
"ticker": "MOQ",
"name": "MOQ LIMITED"
"gics_industry": "Software & Services",
},
{
"ticker": "1PG",
"name": "1-PAGE LIMITED"

"gics_industry": "Health Care Equipment & Services",

...
{
