# Ontora API

> Run qualitative research at scale — programmatically. Launch interview campaigns, query transcripts with GraphRAG, and stream synthesis back into your stack.

Ontora is a qualitative research platform that runs voice and chat interviews at scale and synthesizes the results into structured insights — process maps, opportunity roadmaps, and personas. This documentation covers everything you need to integrate Ontora with your own systems.
