AlphaSense

AlphaSense is an AI-powered market intelligence and search platform used by hedge funds, banks, corporates, consulting firms, and law firms to accelerate research and decision-making. The platform unifies 500M+ public and private documents - SEC filings, broker research from 1,500+ firms, news, earnings call transcripts, internal company content, and 260,000+ Tegus expert call transcripts (Tegus was acquired in December 2023 for ~$930M) - behind a generative search and agent layer (GenSearch, Deep Research, Workflow Agents). The developer surface is gated, enterprise-only, and is split across two contracts: an Agent API for embedding GenSearch / Deep Research / MCP tools into customer AI agents, and a set of Utility APIs (Search, Brokers, Companies, Watchlist, Trends, User, Download, Ingestion) for direct programmatic access. Both are exposed over a single OAuth 2.0-protected GraphQL endpoint at https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql, with a companion REST Ingestion API for Enterprise Intelligence customers. AlphaSense Enterprise Intelligence Private Cloud ships with a public Go CLI (AlphaSense-Engineering/privatecloud-cli) for installing and validating the Kubernetes-hosted environment in a customer's own VPC.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles AlphaSense the way a machine reads it — 91 machine-readable artifacts across 18 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — AlphaSense scores 61.0/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile AlphaSense

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AlphaSense. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 18

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.
