import requests

def get_quotes(codes):

    results = {}
    for line in r.text.strip().split("\n"):
        if "=" not in line:
            continue
        var_name, data = line.split("=", 1)
        code = var_name.split("_")[-1]  # e.g. sh512800
        fields = data.strip('";\n').split(",")
        if len(fields) < 32:
            continue

        }
    return results

# Single quote
quotes = get_quotes(["sh512800"])
print(quotes["sh512800"]["price"])

# Batch quotes (up to ~100 codes per request)
quotes = get_quotes(["sh600519", "sz000858", "sh512800", "sh000001"])
for code, q in quotes.items():
    print(f"{q['name']} ({code}): {q['price']}")

Notes

• Referer header is required
• Data is real-time during trading hours (9:30-15:00 CST), last close price otherwise
• Batch requests: up to ~100 codes per call
• Rate limit: be reasonable, 1 request per second for batch
• Encoding may be GBK for Chinese characters; use r.encoding = 'gbk' if names show garbled
• Volume unit: shares (股), not lots (手)
