Earnings Call Transcript Download

Hi, I saw in various earlier conversations that extracting earnings call transcripts directly via the LSEG Data Library (for Workspace) by using an API is not possible.

See here for example:

Now I am trying to understand alternative ways to get these transcripts (without having to manually bulk-download them).

I saw that there is a LSEG MarketPsych Transcripts Analytics (MTA) API and I wondered a) how to get access to it and whether it does allow me to download the raw transcripts (and not only annotated versions). See here: •⁃ https://developers.lseg.com/en/article-catalog/article/exploring-AI-mentions-in-earnings-calls-and-building-thematic-portfolios

Further, the article states "You can look at GraphQL and filings API on the RDP. Here are couple of articles and this and other questions on this topic which contain some of the sample code. To use, your ID would need access to Filings API on RDP." I don't understand how to get earnings call transcripts from the Filings API as Earnings Call Transcripts are located under events and do not constitute filings.

Last, I found a "Transcript and Beliefs" Dataset on your website. Is this freely accessible and can it be downloaded (or tailored to one's needs) directly from Workspace?

I would be grateful for any advice how to download these transcripts, as also the other sources (mentioned were RDK and DSS) don't really show how to access these transcripts. Thanks for your help!

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    I found that the transcripts can be retrieved via the Knowledge Direct product in the Street Events V2.

    Please contact your LSEG account team or Sales team directly regarding this product or other products that can provide transcripts.
