## What it is

The data half of Quartr, contracted and priced separately from the Quartr Pro seat and the free
mobile app. It is bought by engineering teams putting first-party company material inside
something else — a research platform, a brokerage app, a newsroom tool — not by analysts.

The docs group the data into twelve datasets under a three-level hierarchy — companies own events,
events contain content: companies, events, live audio, live transcripts, backlog audio, backlog
transcripts, filings and reports, slide presentations, chapters, summaries, parsed documents and
segments. They are bought individually or bundled, and each API key inherits its plan's
permissions — a dataset outside it answers `403`. The combined endpoints are
all-or-nothing about that: `/documents` needs reports, slides and transcripts together, `/live`
needs both live datasets.

## Pricing

Nothing is published. The pricing page gives Quartr API a contact-sales button and the phrase
"Enterprise & bundle options" where a number would go. No self-serve signup, no free key.

The standard terms do state the shape of the deal: a twelve-month initial period unless the order
says otherwise, automatic renewal unless you give written notice 30 days before expiry, fees due
30 days from invoice, non-cancellable and non-refundable. Quartr may raise the fee at renewal on
30 days' notice, and a subscription period running past twelve months can be indexed annually —
to US CPI-U in the two US contracts and to the EU-wide HICP in the two international ones — with
no single adjustment exceeding eight per cent. A free evaluation period exists at Quartr's
discretion, with the warranties and the indemnity switched off for it.

## Data & coverage

16,000-plus companies across 65 markets and 50m-plus documents, per the vendor's own API pages.
Archive depth is not published anywhere.

The docs describe the delivery SLAs as contractual: live content streamed and transcribed within
five seconds of event start for 90% of events, transcripts for 95% within 45 minutes of the call
ending, audio for 90% within 20 minutes, filings within 15 minutes of release, slides within 30
minutes, edited transcripts within a couple of hours. Snowflake shares refresh daily.

Audio comes as MPEG and M3U8 from a CDN with no second authentication step, backlog transcripts as
JSON, reports and slides as PDFs with parsed machine-readable text behind its own licensed
permission. Live transcripts stream as JSON Lines with per-word timings, confidence scores and
`[indiscernible]` markers. Companies match on ticker, ISIN, CIK or OpenFIGI, but only the companies
endpoint returns those identifiers — everything else gives you `companyId` and expects you to map
it. Default rate limit is 50 requests a second.

## Integrations

Three routes to the same data: REST at version 3, signed webhooks for created, updated and deleted
records, and a Snowflake private listing a Quartr representative provisions against your account
identifier. There is no SDK in any language — the docs name none — so the integration is HTTP you
write yourself. Quartr MCP is a Quartr Pro feature and not part of this product.

## Limitations

- **Redistribution is a different contract, not a larger plan.** Quartr publishes four sets of API
  terms — internal use and redistribution, each in a US and an international version — and the one
  you sign decides what the data is for.
- **Under internal use, quoting is metered by word count.** Derived work leaves your firm only if
  it is a meaningful transformation, no continuous verbatim excerpt from one document exceeds 250
  words, and verbatim Quartr material does not exceed 20% of the total word count.
- **Under redistribution, the data goes into one named product** set out in the order and nowhere
  else, a Quartr logo and link must appear wherever it is displayed, and where Quartr cannot
  measure usage itself you owe monthly reports of what each unique user accessed, when, and
  whether the interaction was retrieval, summarisation or generation. Your own end users inherit
  the 250-word and 20% limits through Quartr's downstream data-use terms.
- **Neither contract lets you train on it.** No training, fine-tuning, evaluating or otherwise
  developing any AI or ML model on the data; an AI service may take it as input only if it does
  not retain the inputs or train on them. Scraping, bulk downloading, systematically caching and
  building a database or dataset out of the data are prohibited separately, beyond whatever the
  permitted purpose or the Approved Product allows.
- **Nothing survives cancellation.** On termination you delete, destroy or return all Quartr data,
  and on Quartr's request provide written certification signed by an authorised representative
  that you did, keeping copies only as law or a bona fide retention policy requires.
- **Transcripts exist only for events conducted in English** — a large hole in a 65-market product.
  Speaker identification is prioritised by client interest during earnings season, the name, role
  and company fields can be null, and older transcripts are never backfilled with it.
- **No prices, estimates or financial statements.** This is documents and audio about companies,
  not numbers out of them, and the one structured financial dataset — segments — is marked Legacy,
  covers only the S&P 500 and is explicitly "not offered to new partners".
- Support is your Quartr representative, 9:00–17:00 CET on weekdays, and nowhere public. The
  published API changelog's most recent entry is dated 18 December 2025.

## Alternatives

[AlphaSense](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/alphasense) sells a comparable corpus with an API and the same quote-only
motion, plus broker research Quartr has none of. [Fiscal.ai](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/fiscal-ai) adds the financial
statements missing here, and [Daloopa](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/daloopa) is the opposite trade — numbers extracted
out of the same filings rather than the documents themselves. The sibling product,
[Quartr](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/quartr), is the app a human reads; this card is the feed.

## FAQ

### Is the Quartr API included in a Quartr Pro subscription?

No. It is a separate product on its own contract, and the two are listed as separate line items on the vendor's own pricing page. Quartr MCP is the one that comes with Pro; the API is sold to engineering teams building something else on the data.

### How much does the Quartr API cost?

Quartr publishes no figure. The pricing page carries a contact-sales form and the words "Enterprise & bundle options" and nothing more. What the standard terms do fix is the shape of the deal — a twelve-month initial period, automatic renewal unless you give 30 days' notice, fees due 30 days from invoice, and no refunds.

### Can I show Quartr transcripts inside my own product?

Only under the redistribution contract, which is a different document from the internal-use one. It licenses the data into one named product set out in the order, requires a Quartr logo and link wherever the data is displayed, and, where Quartr cannot track usage itself, obliges you to send monthly usage reports naming what each unique user touched, when, and how many authorised users you have.

### Can I train a model on Quartr data?

No, under either contract. Both ban using the data to train, fine-tune, evaluate or otherwise develop any AI, machine-learning or large-language model. Passing data into an AI service as input is allowed only where that service does not retain the inputs or use them for training.
