Tips & Limitations

• Regional Relevance: Note that data is primarily sourced from Chinese domestic trends, which may differ significantly from Western market behavior.
• Currency: All pricing data is returned in CNY (Renminbi); ensure your internal workflows account for exchange rate calculations.
• Frequency: While data is updated regularly, it is meant for market trend spotting rather than millisecond-level stock trading. Use it as a supplemental data point for business intelligence.
