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.

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. ### Input example ```json { "market": "shanghai", "minDealAmountYuan": 10000000, "maxResults": 100 } ```` ### Output example ```json { "securityCode": "600519", "securityName": "贵州茅台", "market": "shanghai", "tradeDate": "2026-06-22", "dealPrice": 1620.00, "closePrice": 1685.50, "premiumDiscountRatio": -3.89, "dealVolumeShares": 30000, "dealAmountYuan": 48600000, "buyer": "机构专用", "seller": "中信证券股份有限公司上海分公司", "stockChangePct": 0.42, "dataSource": "eastmoney.com" } ``` ### Use cases - **Institutional-flow tracking** — monitor which A-shares institutions are accumulating or unloading through large off-book blocks. - **Smart-money signals** — use premium/discount and seat data to flag accumulation or distribution before it shows in price action. - **China-equity research** — enrich fundamental coverage with a daily record of who is trading size in your watchlist names. - **Market surveillance** — screen for unusual block activity, large discounts, or repeat institutional seats. ### How to use 1. Open the actor in Apify Console, set `market`, `minDealAmountYuan`, and `maxResults`, then click **Start**. 2. Or call it via the Apify API / client (Python, JavaScript) and read results from the run's dataset. 3. Or attach an Apify **Schedule** to run it daily after market close for a rolling history. Results export as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the run dataset. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: **$0.005 per run start** plus **$0.10 per block-trade record** returned. You only pay for the deals you receive — use `maxResults` and `minDealAmountYuan` to keep runs scoped. ### 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. �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ### Related — China Market Intelligence suite Build a full picture of Chinese markets with the rest of the suite: - [CNINFO China Listed-Company Announcements](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-listed-company-announcements) - [A-Share Earnings Calendar](https://apify.com/nexgendata/a-share-earnings-calendar) - [China Hot Stocks — Retail Attention](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-hot-stocks-attention) - [36Kr China Tech & Startup News](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-tech-startup-news) - [China A-Share IPO Subscription Calendar](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-ipo-subscription-calendar) - [Eastmoney China A-Shares Screener](https://apify.com/nexgendata/eastmoney-china-stock-screener) - [Eastmoney China ETF Flow Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-etf-flow-tracker) - [China A-Share Insider Trades](https://apify.com/nexgendata/china-ashare-insider-trades) # Actor input Schema ## `market` (type: `string`): Filter by exchange. ## `minDealAmountYuan` (type: `integer`): Only block trades at or above this total value in yuan (e.g. 10000000 = ¥10M). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum block-trade records to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "market": "all", "minDealAmountYuan": 0, "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
