Quickstart

Set your API key:

$export SONICALPHA_KEY="sk_..."

Ask SonicAlpha a research question:

$curl -s https://api.sonicalpha.ai/v1/insights/ask \
>  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SONICALPHA_KEY" \
>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
>  -d '{
>    "query": "Who do investors think captures the value from AV adoption: autonomous fleet operators or platforms like Uber?"
>  }'

What happens

SonicAlpha searches the podcast corpus for evidence relevant to the question and returns a ranked set of sources.

Each source is a structured insight containing information such as:

  • what was said
  • who said it
  • the speaker’s role
  • companies mentioned
  • sentiment
  • publication time
  • source information

To also have SonicAlpha synthesize the evidence into a cited answer, add:

1"answer": true

To search the underlying corpus directly rather than asking a research question, use POST /v1/insights/search.

API keys are server-side credentials and should not be exposed in browser or mobile clients.
