## 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.

# README

## 🇨🇳 Eastmoney China ETF Flow Tracker · 东方财富ETF资金流向

> **Institutional-grade Chinese ETF fund-flow data.** Daily snapshot of all 1,468 Shanghai + Shenzhen ETFs with super-large/large/medium/small CNY flow breakdown, per-ETF 30-day historical flow series, and 496 sector-level aggregates. Sourced from Eastmoney (东方财富) — the live data feed Mandarin-speaking PMs already use. **No free equivalent exists on the Apify Store.**

### What you get

Three modes, one actor:

| Mode | Records / run | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| `snapshot` | ~1,468 ETFs | Daily flow scan: which ETFs are seeing institutional inflow today? |
| `historical` | 30 daily rows × N ETFs | Trend reconstruction: is money rotating out of bond ETFs into sector ETFs over the past month? |
| `sector_aggregates` | ~496 industry sectors | Top-down view: which CSRC sectors are seeing net inflow before drilling into individual ETFs? |

Every record exposes the **money breakdown** that retail-grade feeds (Sina, StockAnalysis.com) don't carry:
- **Super-large flow** (super-institutional, >1M CNY single trades)
- **Large flow** (institutional, 200K–1M CNY)
- **Medium flow** (semi-pro, 40K–200K CNY)
- **Small flow** (retail, <40K CNY)

This four-tier breakdown is the same dataset Wind, Choice, and Bloomberg-China sell for $20K+/year/seat. Here it ships pay-per-record at $0.50.

### 💻 Code Example — Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/china-etf-flow-tracker").call(run_input={
    "mode": "snapshot",
    "etfFilter": "sector",
    "maxResults": 200
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["ticker"], item["name"], item["net_main_flow_cny"])
````

### 🌐 Code Example — cURL

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nexgendata~china-etf-flow-tracker/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "snapshot", "etfFilter": "sector", "maxResults": 50}'
```

### Use cases

- **Hedge-fund position sizing.** Re-weight a long-China book based on real-time super-large-order flow, not stale weekly fund-flow PDFs.
- **Cross-border ETF arbitrage.** Compare onshore CSI 300 ETF flow (510300) with offshore ASHR flow to detect premium/discount divergence.
- **China sector rotation tracking.** Sector\_aggregates mode shows which CSRC industries are seeing net inflow before competitors can read it in print.
- **Quant signal generation.** Multi-tier flow tiers (super-large vs small) historically separate informed from noise trades.
- **Cross-listed ETF research.** Pair onshore flow with offshore NAV from sister NexGenData actors.

### ❓ FAQ

**Q: How is this different from the eastmoney-china-stock-screener?**
The screener returns equity quotes (price, P/E, market cap). This actor returns **fund-flow** specifically — daily net buying/selling broken down by trade-size tier. Different field set, different use case, same vendor.

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
Eastmoney refreshes flow within ~30 minutes after the Shanghai/Shenzhen market close (CST 15:00). Run this actor any time after 16:00 CST for the same-day record.

**Q: Why no AUM column on snapshot?**
Eastmoney's flow endpoint doesn't expose AUM directly. Pair this actor with [eastmoney-china-stock-screener](https://apify.com/nexgendata/eastmoney-china-stock-screener?fpr=2ayu9b) for the quote dimension; join on ticker.

**Q: Will I get rate-limited?**
The actor uses Apify Residential Proxy by default — Eastmoney's push2 endpoint throttles to ~3-4 reqs/cloud IP, push2his to ~20-25. Residential rotation handles both transparently.

**Q: Can I use the output commercially?**
Yes. You own the output. Eastmoney's data is publicly accessible; consult their ToS for any restrictions on redistribution at scale.

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event — you only pay for what you extract.

- **Actor start:** $0.00005 per run
- **ETF flow record:** $0.50 per record

Example cost: a 50-ETF sector snapshot = $0.00005 + 50 × $0.50 = **~$25.00**.

### Agentic payments (AI agent buyers welcome)

This actor supports autonomous payment via Skyfire — AI agents (Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Cursor, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK) can discover, fund, and invoke it without a human-in-the-loop credit card flow. Agents using Apify's MCP server can find this actor by searching for `China ETF flow`, `Chinese fund flow`, or `Wind alternative` and pay via a Skyfire PAY token.
