Viewing: Error Codes
Getting Started
Create an account, get your API key, and make your first request. Then move from core REST endpoints to SDKs, automation, and real-time streaming as your product grows.
Start Here
First request
Get a live Saudi stock quote by symbol in minutes.
Build
Core API
Stocks, trades, depth, market, historical, company data, and financials.
Realtime
WebSocket
Stocks, trades, and depth channels, limits, and reconnect/error handling.
Alerts & Webhooks
Notification workflow
Event webhooks, rules, delivery behavior, and limits.
Quick Start
- Create a free account
- Get your API key from the dashboard
- Make your first API request
- Browse code examples on GitHub
Base URL
https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1Existing integrations using app.sahmk.sa will continue to work.
Your First Request
curl -X GET "https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1/quote/2222/" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"Full examples available on GitHub →
Quote path uses a symbol. If you need name/alias resolution, pass it through the optional identifier query param.
Expected Response
{
"symbol": "2222",
"name_en": "Saudi Arabian Oil Co",
"price": 26.6,
"change_percent": 0.0,
"volume": 6601208,

"is_delayed": false
}Success: You just fetched live Saudi market data from SAHMK. Next, use the SDK for faster integration, explore core endpoints, or move to WebSocket if you need streaming updates.
Ambiguity note: If an identifier maps to multiple companies, pass the exact exchange symbol to disambiguate.
Next for data operations: use Data Center in your dashboard when you need bulk exports and structured dataset workflows.
Authentication
All API requests require authentication using an API key. Include your key in the X-API-Key header.
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEYAPI key types:
shmk_live_*- Production keysshmk_test_*- Test keys (same data access; usage counts toward the account's shared daily quota)
curl -X GET "https://api.sahmk.sa/api/v1/quote/2222/" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"Python SDK & CLI
Start here if you want the fastest path from API key to working integration. The official SDK gives you a cleaner client, while the CLI is useful for testing, demos, and automated tooling.
pip install -U sahmk
export SAHMK_API_KEY="your_api_key"
sahmk quote "Saudi Aramco"If a newly documented SDK/CLI feature is missing locally, run pip install -U sahmk to upgrade.
Python SDK:
from sahmk import SahmkClient
client = SahmkClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
directory = client.companies(search="aramco", market="TASI", limit=20, offset=0)
symbol = directory["results"][0]["symbol"]
print(client.quote("أرامكو السعودية"))If symbol input is uncertain, call client.companies(...) first to discover a valid symbol before quote/company calls.
Use this when: you want less boilerplate than raw REST, typed workflows in Python, or quick command-line access to quotes and market data.
Quote methods accept identifiers (symbol, Arabic/English name, alias). Use symbol when the identifier is ambiguous.
Full examples: github.com/sahmk-sa/sahmk-python
AI & Agents
Use SAHMK inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. For direct agent consumption, use the MCP server for tool calling and/api-docs.mdfor machine-readable API docs.
pip install -U sahmk-mcpIf MCP tools reject newer params (for example historical interval options), run pip install -U sahmk-mcp and restart your MCP client.

Behavior Notes
period=autoresolves toannualwhen the latest fiscal year is full-year, otherwisequarterly.- Starter clients should request
period=annualexplicitly; ifautoresolves to quarterly, the API returns403 PLAN_LIMIT. - Annual history returns completed fiscal years by default; use
include_partial=1to include the current incomplete annual/YTD row. - Quarterly mode returns the latest available quarters by default.
result=latestfollows the selected/resolved granularity; in annual mode it returns the latest completed year by default unlessinclude_partial=1is used.- API default remains
period=annualfor backward compatibility. - Statements are returned in arrays such as
income_statements,balance_sheets, andcash_flows. - Responses also include
symbol,statement_period, and public reporting context inreporting.
Data Available by Plan:
- Starter:Annual statements; request period=annual explicitly. History controls support up to 3 years, and a bare request retains the legacy 4-row extended response.

Real-time WebSocket - Errors
Handle websocket failures with a unified error envelope. Treat close code as class and latest `error.code/details` as the action signal.
WebSocket Error Codes
WS_INTERNAL_ERROR4000An internal connection failure interrupted setup.
Action: Retry with capped exponential backoff and jitter.
WS_AUTH_OR_ACCESS4401 / 4403MARKET_DATA_ENTITLEMENT_*Account access or entitlement issue blocks streaming access.
Action: 4401 means fix API key auth, 4403 means fix account/plan entitlement state. Do not auto-reconnect.
WS_RATE_LIMIT4429DEPTH_WS_*_LIMIT / *_RATE_LIMITEDConnection, subscription, or action throttles were exceeded.
Action: Retry with backoff + jitter and honor `retry_after_seconds` from latest error details when present.
WS_INVALID_REQUESTINVALID_JSON / UNKNOWN_ACTION / SYMBOL_REQUIRED and lowercase variantsMalformed payload or unsupported action.
Action: Codes are channel-specific and case-sensitive. Fix the payload and retry the action; the socket normally remains open.
Multi-connection guardrails
- Open sockets with a 200-400ms stagger instead of starting all at once.
- Queue reconnect attempts globally per API key.
- Avoid synchronized reconnect storms around market open.
Off-hours connections
You may keep WebSocket connections open outside market hours. SAHMK does not intentionally disconnect clients at market close. Continue sending a ping every 30 seconds, reconnect with capped exponential backoff and jitter when necessary, and restore subscriptions after every reconnect. Market events may be absent while the market is inactive.

Rule design guidance
- Start with narrow symbol scope and explicit thresholds.
- Use cooldown windows to reduce notification noise.
- Validate in staging before enabling production rules.
conditionis required forprice_alert; other documented event types normalize it automatically.- Ratio thresholds must be greater than 1.0. Large-move thresholds are capped at 10% for TASI and 30% for NOMU.
oncedefaults totrue. The examples set it tofalseexplicitly to create recurring rules, which is why their responses showfire_once: false.

Alerts & Webhooks - Delivery Lifecycle
Monitor queued, delivered, failed, and retry statuses for operational visibility.
Delivery Lifecycle
Pro+Current lifecycle states and retry sequence for webhook delivery attempts.
Status flow: pending -> retrying -> delivered or dead_letter.
Retry backoff: 2s, 10s, 60s.
Attempts: 4 total (initial attempt + 3 retries), with no jitter.
Retry trigger: all non-2xx outcomes are retried (4xx, 5xx, timeout, and connection errors) until attempts are exhausted.
Automatic deactivation: after 3 consecutive failed deliveries, the webhook is deactivated. Resolve the destination issue and re-verify it before using associated rules again.
Use event_id and correlation_id for end-to-end tracing.
No public replay endpoint is currently available for dead-letter events.
Where to manage
Alerts & Webhooks - Signature Verification
Verify each webhook request signature before processing events in production.
Use the endpoint-specific signing secret returned when creating the webhook destination.
Delivery headers include X-SAHMK-Signature, X-SAHMK-Event, and X-SAHMK-Event-Id.
- Each delivery includes
X-SAHMK-Signature. - Signature generation uses HMAC-SHA256 over canonical payload.
- Reject mismatches with HTTP 401.
# Header format:
# X-SAHMK-Signature: t=<unix_ts>,v1=<hex_hmac>
timestamp, received = parse_signature_header(request.headers["X-SAHMK-Signature"])
canonical_json = json.dumps(payload, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))
signed_payload = f"{timestamp}.{canonical_json}"
computed = HMAC_SHA256(signing_secret, signed_payload)
if computed != received:
return 401
process_event(payload)Timestamp is included in the signature header. Receivers should apply a time-window check for replay protection.
Alerts & Webhooks - Event History
Query recent delivery outcomes for observability and troubleshooting.
Dashboard Event History
Pro+Use the Developer Dashboard history view to inspect delivery outcomes and retries.
- Filter by delivery status, event type, and workspace context in the dashboard.
- Use event IDs and correlation IDs to trace deliveries end to end.
- History is intended for observability and troubleshooting workflows.
Helper
Use Developer Dashboard - Smart Alerts to review delivery outcomes and retry states.
Alerts & Webhooks - Error Codes
Handle webhook delivery failures with retry-safe consumers and clear status mapping.
Operational guidance
- Treat delivery attempts as idempotent; duplicate deliveries can occur on retry.
- Return 2xx quickly after durable persistence; process heavy work asynchronously.
- Track delivery IDs and failure reasons for support and reconciliation.
400INVALID_PARAMInvalid payload field or unsupported query option.
Action: Fix request payload and retry.
401AUTH_REQUIREDThe X-API-Key header is missing.
Action: Add an active API key and retry.
403PLAN_LIMIT / FEATURE_DISABLEDPlan lacks feature access or limits were reached.
Action: Upgrade plan or adjust usage.
404NOT_FOUNDWebhook or alert resource was not found for this account.
Action: Verify resource id and ownership context.
429detailBurst or quota throttle reached; honor Retry-After when present.
Action: Backoff and retry with jitter.
Error Response Format
{
"error": {
"code": "ERROR_CODE",
"message": "Human-readable message"
}
}Realtime WebSocket errors
Rate Limits
API access is rate-limited based on your subscription plan. There are two types of limits: daily quotas and per-minute burst limits.
Full Plan Comparison
| Plan | Daily Limit | Burst Limit | API Keys | WebSocket | Event Webhooks | Event Rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 100/day | 10/min | 1 | ✗ | 0 | 0 |
| Starter | 5,000/day | 100/min | 3 | ✗ | 0 | 0 |
| Pro | 50,000/day | 500/min | 10 | ✓ | 3 | 10 |
| Business | 150,000/day | 1,000/min | 30 | ✓ | 10 | 50 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | ✓ | Custom | Custom |
Daily quotas are shared across the account, including Live and Test keys. Rotating or revoking a key does not create a new daily pool.
Burst Protection: To prevent abuse and protect stability, per-minute throttling is applied at both API-key and account levels. Requests exceeding these limits return HTTP 429. Daily limits reset at midnight in Asia/Riyadh (UTC+3). Enterprise limits are contract-based and may be monthly quotas or resource-based.
Rate Limit Headers
Most successful /api/v1/* responses include X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset.
X-RateLimit-Reset is a Unix timestamp for the next Asia/Riyadh midnight. The daily quota is enforced account-wide across all keys. However, X-RateLimit-Remaining is currently calculated from the key used for the request, so with multiple keys it can be higher than the account's true remaining quota.
Edge proxies may strip headers. Use HTTP 429, the response detail, and Retry-After when present as the fallback throttle contract.
Error Codes
The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns structured JSON error responses.
HTTP Error Codes
400INVALID_ROUTEWrong endpoint path was used. The API returns a suggested correct route.
401detailThe X-API-Key header is missing.
403detailAPI key format is invalid, or the key is invalid or revoked.
403PLAN_LIMITEndpoint requires a higher plan (e.g., historical data requires Starter+, or higher-tier financials combinations are requested on Starter).
404INVALID_SYMBOLExchange symbol was not found.
404 / 409INVALID_IDENTIFIER / AMBIGUOUS_IDENTIFIERIdentifier query did not resolve or matched multiple companies.
429detailDaily, burst, IP, or temporary security throttle.
500SERVER_ERRORInternal server error. Please retry or contact support.
Some new free accounts may temporarily hit a security limit. If this happens, the API returns HTTP 429 with a detail containing Temporary security limit reached. Honor Retry-After when present and try again later.
Common integration error: Calling GET /api/v1/quote/batch/ returns 400 INVALID_ROUTE with route guidance.
{
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_ROUTE",
"message": "Did you mean /api/v1/quotes/?symbols=2222,1120 ?"
}
}Error Response Formats
Endpoint validation and lookup errors generally use a structured error object:
{
"error": {
"code": "INVALID_SYMBOL",
"message": "Stock symbol '9999' not found."
}
}Authentication and throttle failures use a top-level detail string:
{
"detail": "Request was throttled. Expected available in 60 seconds."
