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

Quotes, market data, company data, financials, and events.

Alerts & Webhooks

Notification workflow

Event webhooks, rules, delivery behavior, and limits.

Your First Request

curl -X GET "https://app.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

json

{
  "symbol": "2222",
  "name_en": "Saudi Arabian Oil Co",
  "price": 25.86,
  "change_percent": 0.7,
  "volume": 9803705,

  "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.

Use the SDK

Start with Python SDK or CLI for less boilerplate.

Build with REST

Add quotes, market summaries, company data, and historicals.

Go real-time WebSocket

Stream quote and depth channels when polling is no longer enough.

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key. Include your key in the X-API-Key header.

http

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

API key types:

shmk_live_* - Production keys
shmk_test_* - Test keys (same data, separate quota)

curl -X GET "https://app.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.

bash

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:

python

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.

bash

pip install -U sahmk-mcp

If MCP tools reject newer params (for example historical interval options), run pip install -U sahmk-mcp and restart your MCP client.

Use this when: your team wants SAHMK available inside AI workflows, research assistants, or agentic tools without building extra integration glue first.

Use companies_list for symbol discovery (`search`, `market`, `limit`, `offset`) before quote tools.

GET /financials/{symbol}/

Starter+

Endpoint

https://app.sahmk.sa/api/v1/financials/1120/?period=annual&history=5y&metrics=extended

Parameters

(*) Required

Parameter	Type	Example
symbol *	string	1120
type	string	all
period	string	quarterly
history	string	5y
metrics	string	extended
result	string	series

type: income, balance, cashflow, all. period: annual, quarterly, auto. history: 1y, 3y, 5y, 10y, max. metrics: core, extended. result: series, latest. Optional flags: include_future_placeholders=1, include_partial=1.

Behavior Notes

period=auto resolves to annual when the latest fiscal year is full-year, otherwise quarterly.
Annual history returns completed fiscal years by default; use include_partial=1 to include the current incomplete annual/YTD row.
Quarterly mode returns the latest available quarters by default.
result=latest follows the selected/resolved granularity; in annual mode it returns the latest completed year by default unless include_partial=1 is used.
API default remains period=annual for backward compatibility.
Statements are returned in arrays such as income_statements, balance_sheets, and cash_flows.
Responses also include context fields like symbol, statement_period, and optional quality when requested.

Data Available by Plan:

Starter:Annual + core + up to 3 completed fiscal years + latest snapshot

Deprecation plan: sector remains temporarily and is planned for removal on 2026-07-01. Use sector_name and sector_name_ar going forward.

Integration tips

Default metadata is minimal: meta.period, meta.metrics, meta.warnings.
Use meta=extended for extra fields (ratios: coverage, periods_available, quality, partial_context; compare rows: coverage).
Ratio keys are dynamic, so render ratio objects dynamically.

Important

value-ratio matching for unusual_value_traded uses rolling traded-value baseline (value / rolling_value_baseline), not reference_value.

Forward compatibility: clients should ignore unknown keys and rely on required top-level fields.

Numeric encoding is JSON number (not string). ratio and observed_pct_change are rounded to 4 decimals.

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.

text

# 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.

GET /api/v1/events/history/

Pro+

List event delivery records by status/type with pagination.

Authentication: X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

Endpoint

https://app.sahmk.sa/api/v1/events/history/?status=retrying&limit=20&offset=0

Parameters

(*) Required

Parameter	Type	Example
status	string	retrying
event_type	string	abnormal_volume
workspace_id	number	1
limit	number	20
offset	number	0

Optional query: status (pending, delivered, retrying, dead_letter)
Optional query: event_type
Optional query: workspace_id
Pagination: limit and offset

Defaults: limit=50, offset=0. Maximum limit=100.

Current Status

This route may not yet be publicly available in all production environments.

    <p>The requested resource was not found on this server.</p>
  </body>
</html>

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_PARAM

Invalid payload field or unsupported query option.

Action: Fix request payload and retry.

401INVALID_API_KEY

Missing, invalid, or revoked API key.

Action: Rotate/regenerate key and retry.

403PLAN_LIMIT / FEATURE_DISABLED

Plan lacks feature access or limits were reached.

Action: Upgrade plan or adjust usage.

404NOT_FOUND

Webhook or alert resource was not found for this account.

Action: Verify resource id and ownership context.

429RATE_LIMITED

Burst or quota throttle reached.

Action: Backoff and retry with jitter.

Error Response Format

Realtime WebSocket errors

For WebSocket-specific close codes, reconnect behavior, and remediation guidance, see Real-time 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

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 (UTC+3). Enterprise limits are contract-based and may be monthly quotas or resource-based.

Rate Limit Headers

Each response includes headers to help track your usage:

http

X-RateLimit-Limit: 5000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 4987
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1769816400

X-RateLimit-Reset is a Unix timestamp (seconds).

Error Codes

The API uses standard HTTP status codes and returns structured JSON error responses.

400INVALID_ROUTE

Wrong endpoint path was used. The API returns a suggested correct route.

401INVALID_API_KEY

API key is missing, invalid, or revoked.

403PLAN_LIMIT
