PyASX

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.

Installation

Install via pip:

$ pip install pyasx

API

• Company specific data
  • get_listed_companies()
  • get_company_info()
  • get_company_announcements()
• Securities data
  • get_listed_securities()
  • get_security_info()

get_listed_companies()

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.
