SentiSense Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the SentiSense market intelligence API.

Installation

pip install sentisense

Quick Start

from sentisense import SentiSenseClient

client = SentiSenseClient("your-api-key")

# Get a stock price
price = client.get_stock_price("AAPL")
print(price)

# Get multiple stock prices
prices = client.get_stock_prices(["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOGL"])

# Check market status
status = client.get_market_status()
print(status)

# Get latest news for a stock
news = client.get_documents_by_ticker("TSLA", source="news", days=7)

# Search across news and social media
results = client.search_documents("AI earnings surprise")

# Get mention time series for a stock (v2 metrics API)
mentions = client.get_metrics("NVDA", metric_type="mentions")

# Get sentiment time series
sentiment = client.get_metrics("NVDA", metric_type="sentiment")

# Get mentions broken down by source
dist = client.get_metrics_distribution("NVDA", metric_type="mentions", dimension="source")

Authentication

All API requests require an API key. You can generate one from your Developer Console.

client = SentiSenseClient("your-api-key")

For full endpoint documentation, request/response schemas, and interactive examples, see the API Documentation.

list_kpi_coverage()	List all tickers with curated KPI coverage (free, no quota cost)

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 (analyst coverage, insider trades, sentiment), weighted by allocation. Every aggregate response carries a coverage block so you see exactly how much of the fund's AUM the underlying data covered.

Method	Description
list_etfs()	Every ETF tracked by SentiSense. Returns ticker, fund name, issuer, tracked index, asset class.
get_etf_holdings(ticker)	Full composition: per-holding weights and freshness metadata.
get_etf_analyst_aggregate(ticker)	Holdings-weighted analyst consensus (weighted upside, distribution). Free: headline + coverage. PRO: + topContributors.
get_etf_insider_aggregate(ticker, lookback_days=30)	Holdings-weighted Form 4 net flow over a configurable window. Free: headline + buy/sell split. PRO: + topContributors.
get_etf_sentiment_aggregate(ticker)	Two SentiSense readings side-by-side: constituent-weighted and direct (mentions of the fund itself).

Error Handling

The SDK raises typed exceptions for API errors:

from sentisense import SentiSenseClient, AuthenticationError, RateLimitError

client = SentiSenseClient("your-api-key")

try:
    price = client.get_stock_price("AAPL")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid or missing API key")
except RateLimitError:
    print("Rate limit exceeded, try again later")

Exception	HTTP Status	Description
AuthenticationError	401, 403	Invalid or missing API key
NotFoundError	404	Resource not found
RateLimitError	429	Rate limit exceeded
APIError	Other 4xx/5xx	General API error

All exceptions inherit from SentiSenseError and include .status_code, .message, and .response attributes.

Not yet in the Python SDK

A few endpoints available in the Node SDK are intentionally not yet exposed here (low-traffic / discovery-convenience surfaces). Call them directly over HTTP if you need them: /api/v1/stocks/images, /api/v1/stocks/descriptions, /api/v1/stocks/popular, /api/v1/stocks/{ticker}/entities, /api/v1/stocks/{ticker}/ai-summary, and the metrics breakdown endpoint.
