sentisense

npm version License: MIT

Official JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the SentiSense market intelligence API.

Install

npm install sentisense

Quick Start

import SentiSense from "sentisense";

const client = new SentiSense({ apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY });

const price = await client.stocks.getPrice("AAPL");
console.log(price.currentPrice);

// reportDate is optional; omit it to get the latest available quarter
// (this one returns a wrapper: see "Response shapes" below)
const flows = await client.institutional.getFlows();

Features

  • Full TypeScript support with detailed type definitions
  • Works in Node.js 18+, Deno, Bun, and browsers
  • Zero runtime dependencies (uses native fetch)
  • Namespaced API resources (stocks, documents, institutional, etc.)
  • Typed error hierarchy for clean error handling

Response shapes

Most methods resolve to the payload directly, but two families wrap it. The return types describe the wrapper, so .data / .documents type-check natively, no cast.

1. Tier-gated endpoints return a preview envelope. The payload is in data, and isPreview tells you whether it was truncated for your tier. totalCount carries the untruncated size whenever the server knows it: on a truncated response, so you can render "showing N of M", and on a paged endpoint such as politicians.getActivity, where it is the full match count on every tier including PRO. A missing totalCount means "count data yourself", never "zero results".

Affected: institutional.getFlows / getHolders / getActivists, and all five insights methods.

const flows = await client.institutional.getFlows();
if (flows.isPreview) {
  console.log(`Preview: ${flows.data.inflows.length} of ${flows.totalCount}`);
}
for (const flow of flows.data.inflows) {
  console.log(flow.ticker, flow.netSharesChange);
}

// holders nest one level deeper: ticker-level totals plus the rows
const holders = await client.institutional.getHolders("AAPL", "2026-06-30");
console.log(`${holders.data.holderCount} holders`);
const newPositions = holders.data.holders.filter((h) => h.changeType === "NEW");

// insights use the same envelope, wrapping a plain array
const insights = await client.insights.stock("AAPL");
for (const insight of insights.data) {
  console.log(insight.insightText);
}

2. Document endpoints return a search wrapper. This is not the preview envelope: the rows are in documents and there is no isPreview.

Affected: documents.getByTicker / getByTickerRange / getByEntity / search / getBySource. Also stocks.getFundamentalsPeriods, whose periods are in periods.

const results = await client.documents.search("NVDA earnings", { days: 7 });
console.log(`${results.totalCount} matches`);
for (const doc of results.documents) {
  console.log(doc.url, doc.averageSentiment);
}

Everything else, including stocks.getPrice(), documents.getStories(), insights.types() and institutional.getQuarters(), resolves to the value itself with no wrapper.

Upgrading from 0.28.x or earlier? These return types were corrected in 0.29.0. If your code read the flat shape (flows.inflows, holders.filter(...)), it was returning undefined / throwing at runtime already; switch to flows.data.inflows / holders.data.holders. See CHANGELOG.md for the full mapping.

API Reference

Stocks

client.stocks.list()                                    // All ticker symbols
client.stocks.listDetailed()                            // All stocks with details
client.stocks.getPrice("AAPL")                          // Real-time price
client.stocks.getPrices(["AAPL", "NVDA"])               // Batch prices
client.stocks.getProfile("AAPL")                        // Company profile
client.stocks.getChart("AAPL", { timeframe: "6M" })     // OHLCV chart data
client.stocks.getMarketStatus()                         // Market open/closed
client.stocks.getFundamentals("AAPL")                   // Financial data
client.stocks.getShortInterest("GME")                   // Short interest
client.stocks.getAISummary("AAPL", { depth: "deep" })   // AI report (PRO)

Documents & News

client.documents.getByTicker("AAPL", { source: "news", days: 3 })
client.documents.search("NVDA earnings", { days: 7, limit: 20 })
client.documents.getStories({ limit: 10 })
client.documents.getStoryDetail("cluster_abc123")

Institutional Flows (13F)

client.institutional.getQuarters()
client.institutional.getFlows("2025-02-14", { limit: 20 })
client.institutional.getHolders("AAPL", "2025-02-14")
client.institutional.getActivists("2025-02-14")

Paging the holder list

A widely held ticker returns thousands of rows: a megacap quarter is roughly 6,000 holders and 1.5 MB on the wire. Pass limit unless you really want the whole list. Omitting the options object sends the original unbounded request, so existing code keeps working.

Option Values
limit Maximum rows to return. Must be >= 1; values above 1000 are capped server-side. Omit for the full list.
offset Row offset to start from. Server default is 0. Requires limit.
sortBy "shares" (server default), "valueUsd", or "sharesChangePct". Requires limit.
sortDir "desc" (server default) or "asc". Requires limit.

limit is the switch for the whole set. Send offset, sortBy, or sortDir without it and the server ignores them, returning the full unsorted list with a 200 and no warning.

import SentiSense from "sentisense";

const client = new SentiSense({ apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY });

// Top 10 holders by position value, largest first
const top = await client.institutional.getHolders("AAPL", "2026-03-31", {
  limit: 10,
  sortBy: "valueUsd",
  sortDir: "desc",
});
for (const holder of top.data.holders) {
  console.log(holder.filerName, holder.valueUsd);
}

// Walk the list a page at a time
const page = await client.institutional.getHolders("AAPL", "2026-03-31", {
  limit: 100,
  offset: 100,
});
console.log(`${page.data.holders.length} rows of ${page.data.holderCount}`);

A response to a request carrying limit also has three fields the unbounded response does not: returnedCount (rows on this page, smaller than your limit on the last one), offset (echoed back), and notableChanges, a ticker-wide summary of the quarter's biggest position moves so you do not have to scan every page to find them.

const page = await client.institutional.getHolders("AAPL", "2026-03-31", { limit: 100 });
console.log(`${page.data.returnedCount} of ${page.data.holderCount} holders`);
for (const mover of page.data.notableChanges?.top ?? []) {
  console.log(mover.filerName, mover.changeType, mover.sharesChangePct);
}

Each holder row also carries entitySlug, which you can hand straight to institutional.getInstitutionDetail(), and cikCount when the row rolls up several SEC filers under one manager. Both are null for filers we have not matched to an institution page, so check before building a link.

Congressional Trading

client.politicians.getActivity({ lookbackDays: 90 })  // Market-wide STOCK Act feed
client.politicians.getFilings("NVDA")                 // Trades in one stock
client.politicians.getMembers()                       // Tracked members + trade stats
client.politicians.getMember("nancy-pelosi")          // One member's profile and trades

Paging the activity feed

A 90-day window is routinely well over a thousand disclosures, and without limit the server returns the first 200 with nothing in the payload to say it stopped. totalCount on the envelope is the real size on every tier, so size the walk from that rather than from data.length.

Option Values
lookbackDays Days to look back (1-365). Defaults to 90.
limit Rows to return. Must be >= 1; anything above 500 is capped at 500. Omit for the default 200.
offset Row offset to start from. Defaults to 0. Works with or without limit.
const first = await client.politicians.getActivity({ limit: 100 });
console.log(`${first.data.length} of ${first.totalCount} disclosures`);

for (let offset = 100; offset < (first.totalCount ?? 0); offset += 100) {
  const page = await client.politicians.getActivity({ limit: 100, offset });
  for (const trade of page.data) {
    console.log(trade.politicianName, trade.ticker, trade.transactionType);
  }
}

Entity Metrics

// Time-series metrics (v2 API)
client.entityMetrics.getMetrics("AAPL", { metricType: "sentiment" })
client.entityMetrics.getMetrics("AAPL", {
  metricType: "mentions",
  startTime: Date.now() - 7 * 86400000,
  endTime: Date.now(),
  maxDataPoints: 100,
})

// Distribution by source
client.entityMetrics.getDistribution("AAPL", "sentiment")
client.entityMetrics.getDistribution("AAPL", "mentions", { dimension: "source" })

Available metric types: mentions, sentiment, sentisense, social_dominance, creators.

Knowledge Base

client.kb.getPopularEntities()

Analyst Ratings

The price target cone (mean, high, low, upside %) and consensus are free for everyone, full data via API: we give it away. Upgrade/downgrade feeds and forward EPS estimates are limited on free, unlimited on PRO.

client.analyst.consensus("AAPL")                        // Price target cone + consensus. Free for everyone, full data.
client.analyst.actions("AAPL", { lookbackDays: 30 })    // Upgrade/downgrade feed. Free: 3 most recent. PRO: unlimited.
client.analyst.estimates("AAPL")                        // Forward EPS + earnings surprises. Free: 1 quarter. PRO: full history.
client.analyst.marketActivity({ lookbackDays: 7 })      // Market-wide analyst actions (PRO).

Company KPIs (PRO)

client.stocks.getKpis("AAPL")       // Product metrics and segment revenue time-series. Free returns metadata only (empty kpis array); PRO returns full series.
client.stocks.listKpiCoverage()     // All tickers with curated KPI data (free, no quota cost)

Earnings

The earnings analysis report is the assembled version of a quarter: one object per fiscal period carrying the editorial headline, the KPI cards with year-over-year deltas, the guidance language as management phrased it, and a summary of the earnings call. Pair it with the recent-reporters feed to drive a post-earnings sweep. Both return the preview envelope.

client.earnings.getSummaries("AAPL", { limit: 4 })   // Per-quarter analysis report, newest first. FREE: latest quarter, shaped. PRO: every hydrated quarter in full.
client.earnings.getRecent({ days: 7, limit: 25 })    // Who reported in the last N days. Full window on every key.
import SentiSense from "sentisense";

const client = new SentiSense({ apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY });

const res = await client.earnings.getSummaries("AAPL", { limit: 1 });
const quarter = res.data[0];

if (quarter) {
  console.log(quarter.fiscalPeriod, quarter.reportDate);
  console.log(quarter.headline);
  for (const kpi of quarter.kpiHighlights ?? []) {
    console.log(`  ${kpi.label}: ${kpi.value} (${kpi.yoy ?? "no YoY"})`);
  }

  if (res.isPreview) {
    // Free key: section titles stand in for the bodies.
    console.log("Summary covers:", quarter.summaryTopics?.join(", "));
  } else {
    console.log(quarter.summaryMd);
  }
}

The forward-looking half of the family is client.calendar.getEarnings(), which covers scheduled dates and consensus EPS rather than results.

ETFs (beta)

Composition data is public; the holdings-weighted aggregate views follow the same PRO-with-preview pattern as Analyst/Insider. Aggregates synthesize fund-level views from each constituent's per-stock data, weighted by allocation, with a coverage block on every response.

client.etfs.list()                                              // Every ETF tracked. Returns ticker, name, issuer, tracked index, asset class.
client.etfs.holdings("QQQ")                                     // Full composition: per-holding weights + freshness metadata.
client.etfs.analystAggregate("QQQ")                             // Holdings-weighted analyst consensus. Free: headline + coverage. PRO: + topContributors.
client.etfs.insiderAggregate("ARKK", { lookbackDays: 90 })      // Holdings-weighted Form 4 net flow. Free: headline. PRO: + topContributors.
client.etfs.sentimentAggregate("QQQ")                           // SentiSense readings side-by-side: constituent-weighted vs direct.

Market Mood

client.marketMood.get()

Error Handling

import SentiSense, { AuthenticationError, RateLimitError } from "sentisense";

try {
  const summary = await client.stocks.getAISummary("AAPL");
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
    // 401 or 403: invalid/missing API key or insufficient tier
  } else if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
    // 429: quota exceeded
  }
}
Error Class HTTP Status When
AuthenticationError 401, 403 Invalid API key or insufficient tier
NotFoundError 404 Resource not found
RateLimitError 429 Quota exceeded
APIError Other 4xx/5xx General API error

All errors extend SentiSenseError and include status, code, and message properties.

Configuration

const client = new SentiSense({
  apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY,  // Get yours at app.sentisense.ai/settings/developer
  baseUrl: "https://...",                  // Default: https://app.sentisense.ai
  timeout: 30000,                          // Default: 30s (in milliseconds)
  maxRetries: 3,                           // Default: 3
});

Keep the key in the environment rather than in source. Committing a literal key leaks it into git history and into every registry security scan that reads your repo.
