sentisense

npm versionLicense: MIT

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

Install

npm install sentisense

Quick Start

importSentiSensefrom"sentisense";constclient=newSentiSense({apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY});constprice=awaitclient.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)constflows=awaitclient.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.

constflows=awaitclient.institutional.getFlows();if(flows.isPreview){console.log(`Preview: ${flows.data.inflows.length} of ${flows.totalCount}`);}for(constflowofflows.data.inflows){console.log(flow.ticker,flow.netSharesChange);}// holders nest one level deeper: ticker-level totals plus the rowsconstholders=awaitclient.institutional.getHolders("AAPL","2026-06-30");console.log(`${holders.data.holderCount} holders`);constnewPositions=holders.data.holders.filter((h)=>h.changeType==="NEW");// insights use the same envelope, wrapping a plain arrayconstinsights=awaitclient.insights.stock("AAPL");for(constinsightofinsights.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.

constresults=awaitclient.documents.search("NVDA earnings",{days: 7});console.log(`${results.totalCount} matches`);for(constdocofresults.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.

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.

OptionValues
limitMaximum rows to return. Must be >= 1; values above 1000 are capped server-side. Omit for the full list.
offsetRow 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.

importSentiSensefrom"sentisense";constclient=newSentiSense({apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY});// Top 10 holders by position value, largest firstconsttop=awaitclient.institutional.getHolders("AAPL","2026-03-31",{limit: 10,sortBy: "valueUsd",sortDir: "desc",});for(constholderoftop.data.holders){console.log(holder.filerName,holder.valueUsd);}// Walk the list a page at a timeconstpage=awaitclient.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.

constpage=awaitclient.institutional.getHolders("AAPL","2026-03-31",{limit: 100});console.log(`${page.data.returnedCount} of ${page.data.holderCount} holders`);for(constmoverofpage.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 feedclient.politicians.getFilings("NVDA")// Trades in one stockclient.politicians.getMembers()// Tracked members + trade statsclient.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.

OptionValues
lookbackDaysDays to look back (1-365). Defaults to 90.
limitRows to return. Must be >= 1; anything above 500 is capped at 500. Omit for the default 200.
offsetRow offset to start from. Defaults to 0. Works with or without limit.
constfirst=awaitclient.politicians.getActivity({limit: 100});console.log(`${first.data.length} of ${first.totalCount} disclosures`);for(letoffset=100;offset<(first.totalCount??0);offset+=100){constpage=awaitclient.politicians.getActivity({limit: 100, offset });for(consttradeofpage.data){console.log(trade.politicianName,trade.ticker,trade.transactionType);}}

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.
importSentiSensefrom"sentisense";constclient=newSentiSense({apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY});constres=awaitclient.earnings.getSummaries("AAPL",{limit: 1});constquarter=res.data[0];if(quarter){console.log(quarter.fiscalPeriod,quarter.reportDate);console.log(quarter.headline);for(constkpiofquarter.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()

Screener

Filter the tracked universe on the SentiSense Score, attention, analyst consensus, technicals and price in one query. Screening on analyst ratings alone is something a dozen free tools do; screening on analyst ratings where the Score disagrees is not.

client.screener.fields()// Every filterable field, both universes, with units + operatorsclient.screener.screens()// The curated screens shipped in the product, each with a runnable planclient.screener.run({ plan, tickers, limit })// Run a screen against the stock universeclient.screener.runEtfs({ plan, limit })// Run a screen against the ETF universe
// Run a curated screen as-isconst{ screens }=awaitclient.screener.screens();constcrowdVsStreet=screens.find((s)=>s.id==="crowd-vs-street")!;constcurated=awaitclient.screener.run({plan: crowdVsStreet.plan,limit: 25});console.log(`${curated.matched} matched, showing ${curated.results.length}`);// Or build your own: bullish Score, thin analyst enthusiasmconstres=awaitclient.screener.run({plan: {filters: [{fieldName: "SENTI_SCORE_7D",op: "GTE",value: 13},{fieldName: "ANALYST_BUY_RATIO_PCT",op: "LTE",value: 30},{fieldName: "ANALYST_COUNT",op: "GTE",value: 5},],sort: {fieldName: "SENTI_SCORE_7D",dir: "DESC"},},limit: 25,});for(constrowofres.results){console.log(row.ticker,row.sentiSenseScore7D,row.analystBuyRatioPct);}

limit rides next to the plan rather than inside it, because a plan is a stored object and paging is a transport concern. It defaults to 100 and caps at 500. matched is the count before limit was applied, so truncation is visible. tickers is optional: omit it to screen the whole tracked universe, pass a list to screen a watchlist.

Three field semantics are worth stating outright, because guessing them wrong produces a screen that looks fine and means nothing:

  • ANALYST_RATING_MEAN is inverted. It is the vendor's 1-to-5 scale where 1.0 is strong buy, so bullish is LTE 2.5. Prefer ANALYST_BUY_RATIO_PCT, which runs the intuitive direction.
  • MA_CROSS_STATE is ordinal, not a percentage: 1 golden cross, -1 death cross, 0 neither. Use EQ.
  • SENTIMENT_DIRECTION is the sign of the 7-day SentiSense Score (1 / 0 / -1) with a neutral band of plus-or-minus 5. Despite the name it is not sentiment polarity, and 0 matches only an exact zero.

The Score fields (SENTI_SCORE_7D, SENTI_SCORE_1M, SCORE_CHANGE_7D) are the SentiSense Score, not polarity: unbounded, banded at 5 / 13 / 23 either side of zero. Filter on those band edges, not on values like 0.5, which behave as "any positive score". Nulls never match in either direction, so RETURN_1Y >= 0 and RETURN_1Y < 0 do not partition the universe: a stock listed four months ago is in neither result. If a screen returns fewer rows than you expect, check coverage before you check your thresholds.

On the ETF side, CONSTITUENTS_WEIGHTED_SENTISENSE is the holdings-weighted Score across what the fund owns and is usually the one you want; DIRECT_SENTISENSE is the Score from chatter about the fund ticker itself. WEIGHT_COVERED_PCT tells you how much of the fund's weight had constituent data behind the weighted number.

Screens read a snapshot that refreshes every 20 minutes, so this is not a quote feed. Use client.stocks.getQuote() for live prices.

Error Handling

importSentiSense,{AuthenticationError,RateLimitError}from"sentisense";try{constsummary=awaitclient.stocks.getAISummary("AAPL");}catch(error){if(errorinstanceofAuthenticationError){// 401 or 403: invalid/missing API key or insufficient tier}elseif(errorinstanceofRateLimitError){// 429: quota exceeded}}
Error ClassHTTP StatusWhen
AuthenticationError401, 403Invalid API key or insufficient tier
NotFoundError404Resource not found
RateLimitError429Quota exceeded
APIErrorOther 4xx/5xxGeneral API error

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

Configuration

constclient=newSentiSense({apiKey: process.env.SENTISENSE_API_KEY,// Get yours at app.sentisense.ai/settings/developerbaseUrl: "https://...",// Default: https://app.sentisense.aitimeout: 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.
