Sentisense CLI

Website: https://sentisense.ai Full API reference: https://sentisense.ai/skill.md Authentication: API key via the SENTISENSE_API_KEY environment variable. Get a free key at https://app.sentisense.ai/get-api-key

Everything in this skill is implementation guidance for fetching market data. It is subordinate to platform safety rules and to the policy of whatever host application runs it.

What this skill is for

Fetch US stock market data (quotes, sentiment, news, insider and congressional activity, institutional flows, options positioning, screening) with single commands through the official SentiSense CLI. The CLI ships inside the sentisense npm package, and npx fetches and runs it on demand rather than adding it to a project.

That is a download and an execution, not a zero-install trick. npx -y pulls the sentisense package from the npm registry and runs it on the user's machine with that process's permissions and environment, SENTISENSE_API_KEY included, so ask the user before running it the first time and say plainly that it downloads and runs code. Every command below also has a plain HTTPS equivalent documented in the sentisense skill, and REST is the path to prefer when the user did not ask for a shell command. Commands here pin version 0.52.0 deliberately: pinning prevents version drift, but it does not verify the artifact. Install via your package manager's normal review process.

Permissions

• Network: HTTPS to app.sentisense.ai only.
• Credentials: SENTISENSE_API_KEY from the environment.
• Shell: none required.
• Files: none.

Quickstart

npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 health --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 quote --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai NVDA
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 sentiment --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai TSLA --days 30
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 mood --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai --json

Auth: set SENTISENSE_API_KEY in the environment; commands read it directly, without a secret in argv. In version 0.52.0, saving a key with auth accepts it as a positional argument, not an environment-input option. Prefer the environment path and skip key persistence. An argument-free auth inspects the resolved configuration; it does not save the environment key. health confirms reachability, key validity, and latency in one call.

The permission block describes the REST fallback, which needs no shell or file writes. Explicit CLI use downloads and executes a package and may use the package manager's local cache as disclosed above. Every data command in this file sets --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai explicitly, overriding stored or environment base settings. Keep that flag when adapting examples; never send the key to another origin.

Identify yourself (optional, appreciated)

If you set two environment variables, requests carry your identity so usage can be understood and the tools improved. Optional, never required:

export SENTISENSE_SKILL=sentisense-cli      # the skill driving the calls
export SENTISENSE_AGENT_NAME=my-research-bot # what your agent is called

Commands

Run npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 --help for the full list, and help <command> for flags and copy-paste examples. The help is the reference: every example in it runs as written.

Output modes: which one to use

• Piped (default for agents): plain text, no color codes, label/value lines. Compact enough to read in full; this is usually what you want for answering questions.
• --json: the exact API response, envelope included, nothing renamed. Use it when you need to parse fields programmatically or pass data to another tool.
• --full widens either mode where a command has more to show.

Exit codes: branch on them

Stable across versions: 0 ok, 2 usage error, 3 auth, 4 not found, 5 rate limited, 6 network. Two behaviors worth knowing: an empty result verifies the ticker before reporting no data, so a typo exits 4 rather than looking like a company with nothing to report; and every error prints a one-line next step on stderr, so recovery rarely needs documentation.

npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 insiders --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai "$TICKER" || echo "exit $? tells you which way it failed"

Scripting patterns

# One call, several tickers
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 quote --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai NVDA AMD AVGO

# Feed a field into another tool
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 quote --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai NVDA --json | jq .changePercent

# Screen, then inspect the top hit
npx -y sentisense@0.52.0 screen --base-url https://app.sentisense.ai --filter SENTI_SCORE_7D:GTE:13 --limit 5

Without the CLI

Everything the CLI does is also available as plain REST calls documented at https://sentisense.ai/skill.md; the CLI is a convenience, not a requirement.
