### Usage Pattern

```python
import requests

def get_quotes(codes):
    """Fetch real-time quotes. codes: list of 'sh600519', 'sz000858', etc."""
    url = f"https://hq.sinajs.cn/list={','.join(codes)}"
    headers = {"Referer": "https://finance.sina.com.cn"}
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

    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
        results[code] = {
            "name": fields[0],
            "open": float(fields[1]),
            "prev_close": float(fields[2]),
            "price": float(fields[3]),
            "high": float(fields[4]),
            "low": float(fields[5]),
            "volume": int(fields[8]),
            "amount": float(fields[9]),
            "date": fields[30],
            "time": fields[31],
        }
    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)
