Kensho LLM-ready API
The solution provides access to S&P Capital IQ Financials, Compustat® Financials, and Market Data, and partial access to Key Developments and GICRS, with plans to make additional datasets available throughout 2025.
The Kensho LLM-ready API integrates with large language models, such as Claude or ChatGPT, enabling customers to use natural language to query a range of S&P Global datasets, including S&P Capital IQ Financials, Market Data, earnings call transcripts, and more. Unlike typical APIs, it is optimized for LLMs by offering a simplified structure that supports function calling patterns. Kensho provides a Python library that streamlines everything from authentication to LLM integration. Additionally, the LLM-ready API includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for customers using MCP-compatible systems.
Designed for professionals such as investment bankers, equity analysts, consultants, and other data-driven roles, this LLM-ready API supports efficient retrieval of financial data, including financial statement line items, security identifiers, and market data—ideal for creating pitch books, research reports, and market positioning presentations.

Use Cases
- The LLM-ready API allows users to quickly answer a variety of questions related to company financials. The questions may be written in common financial shorthand, and do not need to be written in complete sentences. Some examples include: “Compare the gross margins and EBITDA trends for Amazon, Google, and Meta over the past 5 years?” or “Summarize the key takeaways from Apple's latest earnings call, focusing on guidance and capital allocation”.
- This solution can also support various workflows and business tasks, such as understanding trading patterns of equities or retrieving data for valuation models.
- Though designed with LLMs in mind, the solution is not limited to LLM use cases alone; it can also be used by Python developers for any type of engineering or as a software development kit (SDK) for S&P Global datasets.
