Tushare

Paid Chinese financial data provider (tushare.pro). The professional tier behind the older free tushare Python package. Used for higher-depth A-share data: financial statements, fundamentals, macro indicators.

Why It Matters

• Deeper A-share coverage than AKShare (financials, fundamentals, alt-data)
• Token-gated; per-user rate limits scale with paid tiers
• Optional in vibe-trading — if TUSHARE_TOKEN is unset, the agent falls back to AKShare without complaint

When To Pay

Skip it for casual research — AKShare covers most A-share use cases for free. Pay for Tushare when you need:

• Financial statement history at scale
• Macro and industry datasets
• Higher rate limits for production pipelines
