Python SDK
The axionquant-sdk package: a pandas-friendly core client plus modules for models, technical analysis, utilities and Plotly visualisations.
AxionQuant Python SDK
The AxionQuant Python SDK (also called the Axion SDK) provides a comprehensive wrapper for interacting with the AxionQuant Financial API. This SDK simplifies access to financial data including ESG scores, stock prices, cryptocurrency data, economic indicators, company financials, insider trading, SEC filings, and more. All methods return normalized Python data structures with proper type coercion.
Installation
Install the SDK via pip, or clone the repository for development.
pip / GitHub
# Install via pip
pip install axionquant-sdk
# Or clone from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/axionquant/python-sdk.git
cd python-sdk
pip install -e .Quick Start
Initialize the client and start fetching data. All methods return normalized Python objects.
Steps
- Import the
Axionclass fromaxion - Create a client with your API key
- Call methods on category attributes (e.g.,
client.stocks.quote("AAPL")) - Use the returned dict/list directly (numbers, booleans are already converted)
Quick Start (Python)
from axion import Axion
# Initialize client
client = Axion(api_key="your_api_key_here")
# Get stock data
quote = client.stocks.quote("AAPL")
print(f"Apple price: {quote['price']}")
# Get ESG data
esg = client.esg.data("AAPL")
print(f"ESG Score: {esg['score']}")
# Get company profile
profile = client.profiles.info("AAPL")
print(f"Company: {profile['name']}")Client Initialization
The Axion client requires an API key for authentication. The SDK is organized into 18 specialized API classes, accessible as attributes of the main client.
Constructor Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| api_key | str | Optional* | Your AxionQuant API key. If omitted, it must be provided in the Authorization header per request, but most endpoints require authentication. |
Initialization example
from axion import Axion
# Recommended: set API key once
client = Axion(api_key="your_api_key_here")
# All API categories are now available
credit = client.credit.search("Apple")
esg = client.esg.data("AAPL")
stocks = client.stocks.quote("AAPL")
crypto = client.crypto.quote("BTC-USD")API Categories

All responses are automatically normalized: string numbers → int/float, "true"/"false" → bool, recursively. This means you can use the returned data directly without manual type conversion.
String → Number
"150.42" → 150.42 (float), "42" → 42 (int)
String → Boolean
"true"/"false" → True/False (case-insensitive)
Deep recursion
Nested dictionaries and lists are traversed and normalized
Null handling
"null", "None" remain as None/null values
Automatic type conversion
# Raw API returns:

# "pe_ratio": "25.6",
# "details": {
# "has_dividend": "false",
# "dividend_yield": "0.5"
