n8n-nodes-earnings-call-transcript-api

An n8n community node that returns speaker-tagged earnings call transcripts and parsed SEC 8-K filings as structured JSON. It is backed by the Earnings Call Transcript API on Apify.

Give it tickers and it returns two kinds of records: earnings call transcripts with every speaker turn tagged by name and role, prepared remarks separated from Q&A, and each analyst question paired with the management answers; and SEC 8-K filings parsed item by item from EDGAR with press release text, guidance sentence extraction, and finance-dictionary sentiment scores. A Search operation runs a full-text keyword search across 8-K filings from all US companies. Pay-per-result on Apify, no subscription.

The node also works as an AI Agent tool: point an agent at it and it can answer questions like "What guidance did NVDA give on its last earnings call?" with live data.

Install

1. In n8n, go to Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Install n8n-nodes-earnings-call-transcript-api.
3. Add your Apify credential (below) and drop the Earnings Calls and SEC Filings node into a workflow.

Self-hosted n8n only; community nodes do not run on n8n Cloud.

Credentials

The node needs an Apify account (free tier works):

1. Get a free account at apify.com.
2. Copy your API token from console.apify.com/settings/integrations.
3. In n8n, create an Apify API key connection credential and paste the token (OAuth2 is also supported).

Resources and operations

| Resource | Operation | What it does | |---|---|---| | Filing | Get Many | Parsed 8-K filings for one or more tickers, newest first | | Filing | Search | Full-text keyword search across 8-K filings from ALL US companies | | Transcript | Get Many | Speaker-tagged earnings call transcripts, newest quarter first |

Useful options: Event Categories (earnings, executive changes, cybersecurity incidents, M&A, and more) and Item Codes filter filings; Date From / Date To bound the window; Metadata Only is a cheap alerting mode; Only New Records plus a Schedule trigger turns the node into a filings and transcripts monitor that emits only new records each run.

Output modes

• Simplified (default, and forced when used as an AI tool): a compact record. Filings: ticker, title, filed date, item codes and names, guidance sentences, net sentiment, EDGAR link. Transcripts: ticker, title, quarter, call date, Q&A pairs, guidance sentences, net sentiment.
• Raw: every field the API produces.
• Selected Fields: pick exactly the fields you want, per resource.

Output fields

Filing records (recordType: "filing"):

| Field | Description | |---|---| | ticker, companyName, cik | Company identity | | formType, accessionNumber, filedDate, acceptanceDateTime | Filing identity and EDGAR acceptance timestamp | | itemCodes, itemNames, items | 8-K item classification (full 1.01-9.01 map) and per-item text | | pressRelease | Parsed EX-99 press release: headline, outlook section, body | | guidanceSentences | Forward-looking sentences with quantities or periods | | sentiment, sentimentNet | Finance-dictionary sentiment (deterministic, not an LLM) | | matchedSnippets, searchKeyword | Search mode: what matched | | url, documentUrl, pressReleaseUrl | EDGAR links |

Transcript records (recordType: "transcript"):

| Field | Description | |---|---| | title, fiscalQuarter, fiscalYear, callDate | Call identity | | participants | Roster with name, role, and roleType (executive, analyst, operator) | | preparedRemarks | Speaker-tagged prepared-remarks turns | | qaPairs | Each analyst question paired with the management answers, with firm affiliations | | guidanceSentences, sentiment, sentimentNet | Guidance and sentiment | | speakerCount, questionCount, wordCount | Call statistics |

Records with recordType: "error" are uncharged notes (for example, no transcript available for a micro cap) and pass through untouched in every mode.

Example workflows

Earnings watchlist digest. Schedule trigger (daily) -> Earnings Calls and SEC Filings (Filing > Get Many, your tickers, Event Categories: Earnings Releases, Only New Records on) -> Slack. Each new earnings 8-K posts once, with guidance sentences and sentiment inline.

Crisis screener. Schedule trigger -> Earnings Calls and SEC Filings (Filing > Search, keyword "material weakness", Only New Records on) -> filter on sentimentNet -> email digest of newly filed matches across the whole US market.

AI analyst. AI Agent node with this node as a tool -> ask "Summarize the Q&A from MSFT's latest earnings call and list any guidance changes." The agent pulls the transcript live and answers from the qaPairs and guidanceSentences fields.

Pricing

The Actor charges per record returned (a parsed filing or a structured transcript) with no start fee and no subscription; error notes are never charged. See current pricing on the Actor's page.
