Overview

Events are the central structure for organizing all core data related to a company. Each event acts as a container that groups associated items such as documents and audio files under a unique identifier. Events also include metadata like title, date, and type, enabling efficient categorization and retrieval.

​
How it works

Events are typically aligned with a company’s fiscal reporting periods, such as quarterly or semi-annual results, and follow a structured lifecycle:
1

Event Creation

An event is created as soon as an estimated or confirmed date becomes available. At this point, the event exists as a placeholder and does not contain any associated content.
If the event is created after the event has already happened all information will be added to the event at once.
2

Pre-Event Content

As the event approaches, companies often release financial filings and supporting materials, such as earnings reports, investor presentations, or slides. These documents are the first to be uploaded to the event.
The type of content available can differ for each event.
3

Live Event and Post-Processing

After the live event concludes, we process and upload the audio recording. Once the audio is available, a transcript is generated and added to the event.At this stage, the event contains all relevant materials, including filings, slides, audio, and transcript, providing a complete view of the event and its content.
All events are not streamed live. Some events are recorded and processed afterwards.

​
Event types

There are numerous different event types, each with their own unique characteristics and data available. We try to keep the number of event types to a minimum without grouping widely different events into the same type. This is a trade-off between data completeness and usability. The types can be retrieved using the event types endpoint. Below you will find a more detailed description of each event type to help you understand the different types.
