Quickstart

Choose how you want to use Ultralayer:

Both options use the same Ultralayer account and credits. You can switch between them or use both.

Use Ultralayer in your AI tools

MCP is a standard way for AI tools to connect to external services such as Ultralayer. You can connect in two ways:

1. Ultralayer plugin (recommended) — the MCP connection plus Ultralayer skills. The skills teach your AI when and how to use each tool.
2. MCP server alone — the same Ultralayer tools without the bundled skills. Use this when your AI tool accepts a remote MCP URL but does not support plugins.

Both options give your AI access to the Wire, developments and events, stakeholder identification, entity retrieval, company guidance, filing changes, alerts, and more within your conversation.

1. Create an account

2. Connect your tool

When you connect, your AI tool will open a browser window so you can sign in to Ultralayer. You do not need to create or paste an API key.

3. Ask something

What's moving markets right now? Focus on high-importance items only.

Brief me on Nvidia: recent headlines, sentiment over the last two weeks, and who co-moves with it in the news.

What are the upcoming developments for Tesla — scheduled earnings, product launches, or other future events?

Set up an alert that emails me when Apple prints important news with strongly positive or negative tone.

Which semiconductor companies are guiding to the highest quarterly revenue? Who changed a metric definition this quarter?

Your AI can choose the appropriate Ultralayer tool and return structured results with supporting sources. The examples above use The Wire, Entity Retrieval, Developments & Events, Alerts, Company Guidance, and Filing Changes.

Build with the API

1. Create an account and an API key

2. Make your first request

Code
curl -X POST "https://api.ultralayer.ai/v0/search/list_wire" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "max_records": 10,
    "novelty": ["new", "update", "correction"],
    "min_importance_score": 0.5
  }'

The response includes the headline, timestamps, classification, scores, and affected companies:

Code
{
  "wire_id": 67583,
  "headline": "Company X raises FY guidance to $4.2B on data center demand, shares up 8% premarket",
  "timestamp": "2026-07-23T13:02:11Z",
  "source_timestamp": "2026-07-23T13:01:45Z",
  "novelty": "new",
  "importance_score": 0.72,
  "trustworthiness_score": 0.85,
  "entities": [
    { "canonical_name": "Company X, Inc.", "entity_type": "COMPANY", "relevance": "primary", "sentiment": 0.6 }
  ],
  "about": { "sectors": ["information_technology"], "asset_classes": ["equities"] }
}

A few details about this request:

• novelty: ["new", "update", "correction"] excludes duplicate coverage.
• Each result records when the source published it and when Ultralayer recorded it. Separate timestamps support accurate historical research and backtesting.
• min_importance_score: 0.5 filters out lower-importance headlines.

3. Go deeper

• Each capability page includes use cases and request examples: The Wire, Developments & Events, Stakeholder Identification, Entity Retrieval, Company Guidance, Filing Changes, and Alerts.
• The API Reference contains the complete technical details for every endpoint.
• Credits & billing explains pricing and usage.
