Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, but you must have a premium subscription. Commercial use of the Earnings Call Transcript API is not permitted on the free tier. See our pricing page to choose a plan that fits your needs.
  • Sign up for a free account to instantly get your API key, then pass it in the X-Api-Key header on every request. The documentation above includes ready-to-run examples in cURL, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, and more.
  • Your API requests will simply be denied once you hit your monthly quota — you will never be charged more than the plan you signed up for. To increase your quota, you can upgrade your plan any time on our pricing page.
  • The API responds with a standard HTTP status code and a JSON error message describing the problem. See our error codes reference for the full list of codes and how to resolve each one, or contact support if you need help.
  • The API covers over 8,000 companies (current and delisted) globally with a focus on US large, mid, and small cap stocks, and historical transcripts are available from 2005 onwards for many companies. Use the Earnings Calendar API to find upcoming report dates and pair it with this API to fetch each call once it is published.
  • Call the /v1/earningstranscript endpoint with either a ticker (e.g. AAPL) or a cik, and add year and quarter (1 to 4) to target a specific call; if you omit year and quarter the latest transcript is returned. See pricing for the tiers required, since these endpoints are premium only.
  • Besides the full transcript string and call metadata like date, quarter, and earnings_timing, Business and Professional tiers also return a summary, extracted guidance and risk_factors, an overall_sentiment score from -1 to 1, and a transcript_split array that breaks the call into per-speaker turns with their own sentiment and an is_qa flag. To pull only the analyst Q&A turns, set qa_only to true; for the underlying financial figures see the Earnings API.
  • Use /v1/earningstranscriptsearch with a ticker, cik, date, or a start_date/end_date window to list available transcripts (paginated, most recent first), and use /v1/earningstranscriptparticipants with speaker_type=executive or speaker_type=analyst to get the management roster or covering analysts for a company. For a person's full cross-company history, look them up by id on /v1/earningstranscriptspeaker; see the related API directory for more finance data.
