AlphaLens API

Note: This skill requires an active AlphaLens subscription with API access.

Authentication

API="https://api-production.alphalens.ai"
KEY="${ALPHALENS_API_KEY}"

Send API-Key: $KEY on all requests.

What This Skill Produces

• Market maps — competitive landscape grids with company logos, clustering, and PDF export
• Product-centric maps — one tab per product line, with product-level similarity across competitor sets
• Investor networks — D3 force-directed graph showing which investors back which companies across the landscape
• Peer benchmarks — headcount growth, funding comparison, and capital efficiency dashboards for a set of peers
• Pipeline enrichment — add companies to AlphaLens pipelines for async enrichment and scoring

Quick Reference

Core Patterns

Find companies similar to a known company

# 1. Resolve by domain
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/entities/organizations/by-domain/ramp.com"

# 2. Use organization_id for similarity
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/search/organizations/{id}/similar?limit=50&is_headquarters=true"

Search products

# Free-text product search
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/search/products/search?description=AI%20procurement&is_headquarters=true"

# Similar products
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/search/products/{product_id}/similar?limit=50&is_headquarters=true"

Enrich organization data

# Products, funding, growth metrics, people, addresses
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/entities/organizations/{id}/products"
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/entities/organizations/{id}/funding"
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/entities/organizations/{id}/growth-metrics"
curl -s -H "API-Key: $KEY" "$API/api/v1/entities/organizations/{id}/people"

Critical Rules

• Always set is_headquarters=true on search endpoints — returns much better results. Only omit if the user asks for all locations.
• Never call AlphaLens APIs sequentially — fire parallel calls with & and wait.
• Use limit=50 — the default of 24 misses too much.
• Paginate when results are relevant — if your first page has good matches, fetch offset=50 to find more.
• Resolve by domain first — never guess an organization_id.
• Poll pipeline readiness — values are computed asynchronously. Check is_ready before reading values.
• Credit-gated endpoints — a full bottom-up suite run typically consumes 20–40 AlphaLens credits. Confirm your budget before running the suite workflow.
• Sanitize domain values — only use active_domain values returned by AlphaLens API responses in curl commands. Never substitute raw user input directly into shell commands.
