View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for ESG Rating Data, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for ESG Rating Data, keeping it validated and agent-ready. ESG Enterprise's Rating Data API exposes a single search endpoint that returns environmental, social, and governance scores for publicly listed and private companies. Each result includes the company identifier, sector classification, and the rating breakdown used for sustainability research, supplier due diligence, and ESG-aware portfolio screening. Authentication is by query token, making it easy to drop into a spreadsheet pull or a research notebook.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use ESG Rating Data API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Supplier ESG screening during procurement

Procurement teams query the search endpoint with each supplier name before signing a contract, retrieving the company's ESG rating and sector classification. Suppliers below an internal threshold are flagged for human review or excluded entirely from preferred-vendor lists. This automates a control that otherwise relies on manual rating database lookups.

For each supplier name in the procurement queue, call GET /search with the name as a query parameter and reject any supplier whose rating falls below the BBB threshold.

ESG-aware portfolio screening for an investment fund

Analysts at a sustainable investment fund call the rating data endpoint for every ticker in their universe and persist the score alongside their existing factor data. The fund then excludes holdings below a cut-off and rebalances toward higher-rated names. The single-endpoint design makes it easy to schedule a daily refresh.

Pull ESG ratings for the 500 companies in the model portfolio via /search and exclude any whose score is below 50.

Sustainability research and benchmarking

ESG researchers comparing companies within a sector pull ratings for a set of competitors and benchmark each against the sector average. Because the response includes sector tagging, the same query can be reused to assemble peer groups without separate classification calls. The output drives published research notes and internal sustainability reports.

Search ratings for the top 10 oil and gas majors and compute the sector average ESG score, flagging companies more than 10 points below the mean.

AI agent enriching CRM records with ESG context

An AI agent connected to a CRM iterates through account records, calls the ESG rating search for each company name through Jentic, and writes the score into a custom field. Sales reps then prioritise outreach to ESG-aligned accounts, and the field is refreshed monthly. Through Jentic, the API token never enters the agent's context.

For each account in the 'Strategic' segment, search ESG ratings via Jentic and patch the account's 'esg_score' field with the returned value.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The ESG Enterprise api_key is stored in the Jentic vault and injected as the 'token' query parameter at execution time. The raw key never enters the agent's prompt context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'look up an ESG rating' and Jentic returns the GET /search operation along with its parameter schema, so the agent does not need to consult ESG Enterprise's developer portal.

Time to first call

Direct integration: half a day to handle the AWS API Gateway endpoint, query token, and response parsing. Through Jentic: minutes — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Estimate Rocket API

Pair ESG screening with operational tools for vendor and project tracking.

Use Estimate Rocket alongside ESG screening when contractors flag down-rated suppliers in their estimates.

Complementary

Salesforce API

Salesforce stores the account records that ESG ratings are written back to.

Use Salesforce when the destination for the ESG score is a CRM account or opportunity record.

Alternative

Etrigue API

Etrigue holds lead and campaign data; not an ESG source but a possible enrichment target for ESG fields.

Use Etrigue when the ESG context needs to flow into a marketing lead record rather than a CRM account.

FAQs

Specific to using ESG Rating Data API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for ESG Rating Data?

ESG Enterprise does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call ESG Rating Data via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the ESG Rating Data API use?

The API uses an api_key passed as a query parameter named 'token'. Through Jentic, the token is held in the vault and supplied at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw value.

Can I retrieve ESG ratings for private companies with this API?

The /search endpoint accepts any company name, but coverage is strongest for publicly listed issuers and large privately held firms; smaller private companies may return empty results. Always check for an empty response and fall back to a different data source when no rating is available.

What are the rate limits for the ESG Rating Data API?

ESG Enterprise does not publish explicit rate limits in the spec. Treat batch screening jobs conservatively, paginate or sleep between requests, and back off on any HTTP 429 or 5xx response.

How do I screen a list of suppliers with this API through Jentic?

Use the Jentic search query 'look up ESG rating for a company'. Jentic returns the GET /search operation, load the schema, and execute it once per supplier name. The agent collects the returned score and sector and applies your screening rule without ever handling the API token.

Does the response include the underlying ESG score components?

The search response includes the overall ESG rating and sector classification but does not break out the individual environmental, social, and governance pillar sub-scores. For the full breakdown you need to subscribe to ESG Enterprise's premium data product, which is not exposed via this public spec.
