What getUpcomingEarnings does on API Ninjas
AI agents call getUpcomingEarnings to retrieve information from API Ninjas without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

|---|---|---|---|
date | string | — | Single date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If provided, overrides start_date and end_date to filter by this exact date. |
limit | integer | — | Maximum number of results to return. Must be between 1 and 100 (inclusive). Default is 100. |
offset | integer | — | Number of results to skip for pagination. Must be a non-negative integer. Use in combination with limit to paginate through results. |
ticker | string | — | Ticker symbol to filter by (e.g., AAPL, 0700.HK). Returns only earnings for that specific company. |
end_date | string | — | End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be after start_date. Defaults to 10 years from today if not provided. |

Why getUpcomingEarnings is rated Low
Even though getUpcomingEarnings only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

getUpcomingEarnings is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
