🇨🇳 China Block Trades Tracker (大宗交易)

Track institutional block trades (大宗交易) on the China A-share market, sourced daily from Eastmoney. Block trades are large-lot, off-order-book deals between major holders and institutions — a window into smart-money positioning that ordinary tick data hides. This actor delivers each deal with its execution price, premium or discount to the close, volume, total value, and the named buyer and seller seats (including institutional seats such as 机构专用), so you can see who is moving size in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing.

What it extracts

Every record is one block-trade deal:

• securityCode — A-share ticker (e.g. 600519)
• securityName — listed company name
• market — exchange (shanghai / shenzhen / beijing)
• tradeDate — date the block trade settled
• dealPrice — negotiated execution price per share
• closePrice — market close on the trade date
• premiumDiscountRatio — deal price vs. close, as a percentage
• dealVolumeShares — number of shares in the block
• dealAmountYuan — total deal value in CNY
• buyer — buyer seat (e.g. 机构专用)
• seller — seller seat
• stockChangePct — the stock's price change on the day
• dataSource — origin of the record (Eastmoney)

Features

• Market filter — pull all exchanges or scope to Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Beijing.
• Minimum deal-size filter — set minDealAmountYuan to surface only the largest institutional deals above a CNY threshold.
• Premium / discount signal — every deal includes its price relative to the market close, separating accumulation at a premium from forced selling at a discount.
• Named buyer / seller seats — see institutional seats (机构专用) and brokerage seats on both sides of each trade.
• Result cap — bound output with maxResults for predictable, cost-controlled runs.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Records reflect block trades published by Eastmoney for the trading day; run the actor after the China market close (or on a daily schedule) for the latest deals.

What does 机构专用 mean? It is the "institutional dedicated" seat label on A-share trade records. When it appears as buyer or seller, an institution — not an individual or named brokerage branch — was on that side of the block.

Where does the data come from? Directly from Eastmoney (eastmoney.com), reflected in each record's dataSource field.

Can I get only the biggest deals? Yes — set minDealAmountYuan to your CNY threshold and the actor returns only block trades at or above that total value.

What output formats are supported? Every run writes to an Apify dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or readable via the API. ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
