Other APIs

These GraphQL queries and external references help you look up the IDs, codes, and enum values required by GenSearch filters. Each section below explains which GenSearch field it maps to and either shows a query with a code example or points you to an authoritative source.

All requests use the same authentication and endpoint as GenSearch. See Authentication for setup details.

Source Types

Look up source type IDs (broker research, SEC filings, earnings transcripts, etc.) for the GenSearch filters.sources.ids field.

GenSearch field: input.filters.sources.ids

filingTypesV3 returns a single JSON value (a blob). Request it without sub-selections:

query Query {
  filingTypesV3
}

Python
JavaScript
cURL

import json

query = """
query Query {
  filingTypesV3
}
"""

response = requests.post(
    ENDPOINT,
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "clientid": CLIENT_ID,
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

filing_types_str = response.json()["data"]["filingTypesV3"]
filing_types = json.loads(filing_types_str)
print(json.dumps(filing_types, indent=2))

const query = `
query Query {
  filingTypesV3
}
`

const response = await fetch('https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': process.env.ALPHASENSE_API_KEY,
    clientid: process.env.ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID,
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({query}),
})

const filingTypesStr = (await response.json()).data.filingTypesV3
const filingTypes = JSON.parse(filingTypesStr)
console.log(JSON.stringify(filingTypes, null, 2))

curl --request POST 'https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql' \
  --header "x-api-key: $ALPHASENSE_API_KEY" \
  --header "clientid: $ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "query": "query Query { filingTypesV3 }"
  }'

For full type details see the filingTypesV3 reference.

Industry Codes (GICS)

GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) codes are used with the GenSearch filters.industries field.

GenSearch field: input.filters.industries

There is no GraphQL lookup for industry codes in this API. For the official GICS structure, definitions, and how codes are organized, see the MSCI index resources page: The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

Country Codes

GenSearch filters.countries expects uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (for example US, GB, CA).

GenSearch field: input.filters.countries

There is no GraphQL lookup for country codes in this API. For the full list of two-letter codes, see Wikipedia — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.

note

Use "US*" in the GenSearch countries filter to target US non-domicile entities.

Company Lookup

Resolve company tickers and identifiers for the GenSearch filters.companies.include field.

GenSearch field: input.filters.companies.include

query CompanyLookup($filter: CompaniesFilter!) {
  companies(filter: $filter) {
    id
    name
    ticker
  }
}

Python
JavaScript
cURL

query = """
query CompanyLookup($filter: CompaniesFilter!) {
  companies(filter: $filter) { id name ticker }
}
"""

variables = {
    "filter": {"keyword": "Apple"}
}

response = requests.post(
    ENDPOINT,
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "clientid": CLIENT_ID,
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query, "variables": variables},
)

for company in response.json()["data"]["companies"]:
    print(f"{company['ticker']}  {company['name']}  (ID: {company['id']})")

const query = `
query CompanyLookup($filter: CompaniesFilter!) {
  companies(filter: $filter) { id name ticker }
}
`

const variables = {
  filter: {keyword: 'Apple'},
}

const response = await fetch('https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': process.env.ALPHASENSE_API_KEY,
    clientid: process.env.ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID,
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({query, variables}),
})

const companies = (await response.json()).data.companies
for (const c of companies) {
  console.log(`${c.ticker}  ${c.name}  (ID: ${c.id})`)
}

curl --request POST 'https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql' \
  --header "x-api-key: $ALPHASENSE_API_KEY" \
  --header "clientid: $ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "query": "query CompanyLookup($filter: CompaniesFilter!) { companies(filter: $filter) { id name ticker } }",
    "variables": {
      "filter": { "keyword": "Apple" }
    }
  }'

For full query options see the companies reference.

User Watchlists

Retrieve your saved watchlist IDs for the GenSearch filters.companies.watchlists field.

GenSearch field: input.filters.companies.watchlists

query UserWatchlists {
  user {
    watchlists {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Python
JavaScript
cURL

query = """
query UserWatchlists {
  user { watchlists { id name } }
}
"""

response = requests.post(
    ENDPOINT,
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "clientid": CLIENT_ID,
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

for wl in response.json()["data"]["user"]["watchlists"]:
    print(f"{wl['id']}  {wl['name']}")

const query = `
query UserWatchlists {
  user { watchlists { id name } }
}
`

const response = await fetch('https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': process.env.ALPHASENSE_API_KEY,
    clientid: process.env.ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID,
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({query}),
})

const watchlists = (await response.json()).data.user.watchlists
for (const wl of watchlists) {
  console.log(`${wl.id}  ${wl.name}`)
}

curl --request POST 'https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql' \
  --header "x-api-key: $ALPHASENSE_API_KEY" \
  --header "clientid: $ALPHASENSE_CLIENT_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "query": "query UserWatchlists { user { watchlists { id name } } }"
  }'

For full type details see the user reference.

Date Presets

The GenSearch filters.date.preset field accepts the following enum values. No lookup query is needed — use these values directly.

GenSearch field: input.filters.date.preset

Preset Value	Range
`LAST_24_HOURS`	Past 24 hours
`LAST_7_DAYS`	Past 7 days
`LAST_30_DAYS`	Past 30 days
`LAST_90_DAYS`	Past 90 days
`LAST_6_MONTHS`	Past 6 months
`LAST_12_MONTHS`	Past 12 months
`LAST_18_MONTHS`	Past 18 months
`LAST_2_YEARS`	Past 2 years

Alternatively, use filters.date.customRange with from and to in YYYY-MM-DD format:

"date": {
    "customRange": {
        "from": "2025-01-01",
        "to": "2025-06-30"
    }
}

warning

Use either preset or customRange, not both at the same time.

For the full enum definition see the SearchDatePreset reference.

Expert Insights Filters

Filter within AlphaSense Expert Insights content using three sub-fields. These accept string values — use the values listed in the reference linked below.

GenSearch field: input.filters.expertInsightsFilters

Sub-field	Description	Example Value
`analystPerspectives`	Type of analyst viewpoint	`"Investor-Led (Sell-Side)"`
`expertPerspectives`	Type of expert	`"Medical Professional"`
`expertTranscriptType`	Transcript format	`"Company Deep-Dive"`

"expertInsightsFilters": {
    "expertPerspectives": ["Medical Professional"],
    "expertTranscriptType": ["Company Deep-Dive"]
}

For available values and full type details see the ExpertInsightsFilters reference.
