## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## China A-Share Smart-Money Tracker — Institutional Score & Cost

See **what institutions are doing in every Chinese A-share** in one run. For each stock this Actor returns Eastmoney's institutional-behavior signals: an **institutional score (0–100)**, **institutional participation %**, the **"main-force" (smart-money) average cost basis** versus the current price, **super-large / large order net inflow**, an attention score and the popularity rank. **No login, no account, no API key.**

The standout field is `priceVsMainForceCostPct` — how far the current price sits above or below the average cost of the dominant ("main force") money in the stock. Below cost, smart money is underwater; well above, it's sitting on gains. Combined with the institutional score and participation, it's a fast read on positioning that Chinese traders watch closely (主力成本 / 机构参与度).

### What you get

One row per stock per trading day:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `stockCode` / `secuCode` | 6-digit and full code |
| `stockName` / `market` | Name and board (SSE / SZSE / STAR / ChiNext / BSE) |
| `institutionalScore` | Eastmoney institutional score, 0–100 (higher = stronger institutional behavior) |
| `institutionalParticipationPct` | Estimated institutional participation in the stock |
| `mainForceCost` / `…20d` / `…60d` | Main-force (smart-money) average cost — current, 20-day, 60-day |
| `close` | Latest close (CNY) |
| `priceVsMainForceCostPct` | **Price vs main-force cost** — +ve = above smart-money cost, −ve = below |
| `changePct` / `turnoverPct` | Daily change and turnover |
| `superLargeNetInflowCny` / `largeNetInflowCny` | Net inflow from super-large / large orders (CNY) |
| `superBuyRatioPct` | Share of super-large orders that were buys |
| `attentionScore` / `popularityRank` / `popularityRankChange` | Retail attention and ranking |
| `peDynamic` | Dynamic P/E |

### Input

- **Sort by** (`sortBy`) — score / participation / attention / change / super-large net inflow.
- **Min institutional score** (`minScore`) — e.g. 70 to surface only heavily-institutional names.
- **Stock codes** (`securityCodes`) — restrict to specific tickers, or leave empty for the whole market.
- **Include NEEQ** (`includeNEEQ`) — off by default; A-shares only.
- **Max stocks** (`maxResults`).

#### Example input

```json
{ "sortBy": "score", "minScore": 70, "maxResults": 100 }
````

#### Example output row

```json
{
  "stockCode": "000783",
  "stockName": "长江证券",
  "market": "SZSE (Main)",
  "institutionalScore": 83.72,
  "institutionalParticipationPct": 68.44,
  "mainForceCost": 9.406,
  "close": 9.46,
  "priceVsMainForceCostPct": 0.57,
  "superLargeNetInflowCny": 1115073552,
  "superBuyRatioPct": 71.36,
  "attentionScore": 89.6
}
```

### Use cases

- **Smart-money screening** — sort by `institutionalScore` (or filter `minScore`) to find the most institutionally-active names.
- **Cost-basis edge** — rank by `priceVsMainForceCostPct` to find stocks trading near/below where the main force got in.
- **Flow confirmation** — combine `superLargeNetInflowCny` + `superBuyRatioPct` to see where big money is buying.
- **Watchlist monitoring** — set `securityCodes` to track institutional behavior on stocks you hold.
- **Dashboards / models** — feed daily institutional signals into your own app or BI tool.

### Tips

- Run on a **schedule** (daily after close) and append to one dataset to build an institutional-behavior time series.
- `priceVsMainForceCostPct` crossing from negative to positive can mark a shift in main-force positioning.
- Mix `minScore` with `sortBy: "super_inflow"` to find high-quality names also seeing big-order buying.

### FAQ

**Account or API key?** No — live from Eastmoney's public dataset.

**Which markets?** All A-shares (Shanghai & Shenzhen main, STAR, ChiNext, BSE). NEEQ optional.

**How current?** Daily, as published by Eastmoney after each trading session.

**What are "main-force" and "super-large orders"?** Main force (主力) = the dominant institutional/large money; super-large orders are the biggest trade tranches — a common proxy for institutional activity.
