Kiwoom Securities Releases REST API-Based CLI to Enhance Development Environment

Collaboration with Live Data

Kiwoom Securities announced on July 21 that it has released a REST API-based domestic stock CLI (Command Line Interface) and sample code in collaboration with Live Data, a leading company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) agents and AX.

The newly released CLI is a development tool that allows developers to easily search Kiwoom Securities' REST API using commands, authenticate, download sample code, and execute functions. Previously, users had to search through extensive API documentation using the CLI, but now, authentication and basic environment setup can be completed with a single 'kwcli setup' command, and users can check the specifications of the desired API using the 'kwcli spec search' command.

The domestic stock sample codes released together provide one example each for different REST APIs, including market price, account, and order functions. In total, 207 executable examples are included. All sample codes are provided in a format that can be called directly, allowing users to copy and run them immediately. When used in combination with AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor, users can develop their own trading services even faster.

Additionally, the CLI is registered on PyPI (Python Package Index), making it easy to install with the 'pip install kwcli' command. Both the CLI and sample codes are freely available for anyone to download and use via GitHub repository. This enables developers to begin developing with Kiwoom Securities' REST API quickly, without any complex environment setup.

In particular, this CLI focuses on enhancing development convenience. The tool integrates the entire process from API exploration to authentication and sample code execution, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for development. Order functions have built-in verification steps to further enhance security. It has been designed so that not only professional developers but also general users utilizing AI coding tools can more easily use Kiwoom Securities' REST API.

The CLI and sample codes can be found in the GitHub repository, and the CLI can be installed from PyPI.

Starting with the public release of the domestic stock CLI, Kiwoom Securities plans to successively launch MCP (Multi-agent Context Protocol) and plugins in August, continuously expanding the development environment for AI-based trading services.

A representative from Kiwoom Securities stated, "With the simultaneous release of the REST API-based CLI and sample codes, even users new to REST APIs can easily and quickly begin development." The representative added, "We will continue to improve the developer experience (DX) for AI-based development environments, fostering an ecosystem where anyone can utilize Kiwoom Securities' REST API to develop various investment services."
