Kensho Scribe Batch API v2

Kensho Scribe Real Time API

Real-time streaming transcription over a WebSocket at wss://scribe.kensho.com/ws. Clients send an Authenticate message with a Kensho OIDC access token, then StartTranscription with an audio_format (RAW pcm_s16le, 16 kHz, mono), followed by base64-encoded AddData chunks of at most 15 seconds each carrying monotonically increasing sequence_numbers, and finally EndOfStream. The server streams TranscriptionStarted, DataAdded, AddTranscript, EndOfTranscript, and Error messages back over the same socket. This is the only public WebSocket surface S&P Global exposes — Capital IQ Pro, Marketplace, and other market-data feeds are delivered via REST, file/SFTP, Snowflake share, and Databricks share.

S&P Capital IQ Pro

Flagship desktop and API platform for S&P Global Market Intelligence — company fundamentals, ownership, transactions, estimates, news, screening, charting, and Office plug-ins. The Capital IQ Pro API is delivered as part of an enterprise subscription rather than as a self-serve developer signup; the LLM-ready API exposes a substantial subset of the same dataset.
