Earnings call transcripts
Discover available earnings calls without downloading transcript text, then retrieve only the calls you need. Summary resources provide company identity, fiscal period, and call date, everything needed to retrieve the full transcript.
Choose an earnings-call endpoint
The route family separates discovery from content retrieval.
| Goal | Endpoint | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Browse calls across companies | List earnings calls | Cursor-paginated summary resources. |
| Find calls for one company or date range | List earnings calls with filters | Summaries without transcript text. |
| Read one selected call | Retrieve an earnings call | A full transcript resource. |
| Feed plain text into a text pipeline | Retrieve with format=text | One raw transcript string. |
Move from discovery to retrieval
List calls first and use the summary metadata to select a fiscal period. Then
call the retrieve route with the company identifier, fiscal_year, and
fiscal_quarter. The list returns v3.content.earnings_call objects;
retrieval returns a v3.content.earnings_call_transcript object that adds
transcript.
The retrieve route defaults to format=json, where transcript is an array of
speaker and text turns. Use format=text when your application needs a single
string. Follow list cursor URLs unchanged and continue sending your Bearer
header on every page request.
Common use cases
Use transcript resources for workflows that depend on management commentary.
- Transcript archives. Build a searchable archive of calls keyed by company and fiscal period for durable transcript links.
- Guidance extraction. Extract revenue guidance, capital spending plans, and margin commentary for use in forecasts and research notes.
- Management trend analysis. Compare management themes and language across several quarters to see how priorities, risks, and explanations change.
- NLP pipelines. Run sentiment, topic, or speaker-level analysis on structured transcript turns without first parsing one large text block.
- Competitive intelligence. Review how competitors discuss pricing, demand, and market conditions across calls from the same reporting period.
- Event-linked research. Link earnings-calendar events to the corresponding reported call so users can move from results to management commentary.
History access
Your plan controls how much transcript history is available. v2 and v3 use the same plan and request-limit bucket.
