url = f'https://finnhub.io/api/v1/calendar/earnings?from=2022-03-01&to=2023-03-09&symbol=AAPL&token={FINNHUB_KEY}' - returns empty list

url = f'https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/earnings?symbol=AAPL&from={from_unix_timestamp}&to={to_unix_timestamp}&token={FINNHUB_KEY}' - returns only last year

url = f'https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/earnings?symbol=AAPL&from=2022-03-01&to=2022-03-09&token={FINNHUB_KEY}' - returns only last year

Answer 1

this is really stupid, but apparently the calendar/earnings endpoint or the finnhub_client.earnings_calendar method is only for future earnings. passed ones are not listed. which is strange, cause there is "eps actual" and "revenue actual" field there. and they cant exist if its in the future
