China National Bureau of Statistics Data Query (cn-stats)

Query China's official statistics portal (CPI, GDP, population, housing price index) through its public API with curl and jq.

Data & AnalyticsIntermediate★ 149⑂ 18AI score 7/10Last updated: Jul 15, 2026

What it does

Gives Claude the exact endpoints for the public data API at data.stats.gov.cn.

  • Walk the indicator category tree (monthly/quarterly/annual, by province, major cities, HK/Macau/Taiwan, major economies — 14 root codes)
  • Search indicators by keyword and resolve their IDs
  • Fetch statistics for multiple indicators or multiple regions in one request
  • Look up province and major-city region codes, plus a global keyword search
  • Format results with jq into TSV: period / indicator name / value / unit

Who it's for

  • Researchers, economists and analysts working with Chinese macro, price or property data
  • Market-research teams tracking China for export or expansion
  • Data analysts building reports or dashboards from open data
  • Anyone comfortable with curl and jq in a terminal

Examples

  1. "Compare CPI for Shanghai and Beijing over the last three years" → search the indicator, then call the multi-region endpoint for 202301–202605
  2. "List the residential sales price index indicators for the 70 large/medium cities" → uses the category ID already included in the skill
  3. "Show annual GDP together with GDP per capita" → sends both indicator IDs in a single annual-data query

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/cn-stats folder from the GitHub repo aahl/skills into my ~/.claude/skills/cn-stats/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aahl/skills.git /tmp/aahl-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/aahl-skills/skills/cn-stats ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Check prerequisites: curl --version and jq --version (install jq via brew install jq on macOS or sudo apt install jq on Ubuntu).
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Clone the repo: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aahl/skills.git /tmp/aahl-skills
  5. Copy just this skill: cp -r /tmp/aahl-skills/skills/cn-stats ~/.claude/skills/
  6. Restart Claude Code and test with a prompt like "look up the latest China CPI figures".
  7. Verify your network can reach data.stats.gov.cn — the skill cannot work from regions or networks where the portal is unreachable.
