In our case we will use very handy Python package finance_calendars - a simple wrapper of NASDAQ public API for Financial Calendars.
Using simple scripts below you will get all the necessary information on Earnings data for current day as well as historical information on any chosen date.
Output data is in Pandas dataframe format which can be easily converted to any suitable form for further visualisation and analysis.
# pip install finance-calendars
from finance_calendars import finance_calendars as fc
from datetime import datetime, date
import pandas as pd
earnings =fc.get_earnings_today()
print(earnings[:5])
# only 5 items listed, remove filter to get all data
Earnings reports due on today's date output:
earnings = fc.get_earnings_by_date(datetime(2022, 9, 26, 0, 0))
print(earnings[:5])
# only 5 items listed, remove filter to get all data
