Set up the FactSet connector
Configure the FactSet connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools. The FactSet connector requires organization-managed OAuth authentication with private key JWT authentication method.The FactSet connector only supports organization-managed OAuth. You must create your own FactSet OAuth application. WRITER-managed OAuth is not available for FactSet.
Create a FactSet OAuth application
Create an OAuth 2.0 application in FactSet:- Contact FactSet to enable OAuth 2.0 access for your account
- Configure your OAuth application with FactSet and grant access to the required OAuth scopes
- Generate a private key for JWT authentication
- Add the Writer redirect URI if required by FactSet
- Note your client ID and authentication credentials
Required OAuth scopes
api|content/eventsandtranscripts/v2- Access events and transcriptsapi|content/fundamentals- Access fundamental financial dataapi|content/estimates- Access estimates and forecasts
OAuth scopes are fixed per connector and cannot be customized based on enabled tools. When users authorize the FactSet connector, they will grant all the scopes listed above, even if you disable certain tools in AI Studio.
