# Mega-cap earnings dates and EPS

`GET /v1/earnings`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.helious.io`
- URL: `https://api.helious.io/v1/earnings`
- Auth: one of:
  - none
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://helious.io/oauth/authorize`, token URL `https://api.helious.io/oauth/token`, scopes: `market:read`)

When a US mega-cap reports, whether that date is confirmed or still an estimate, whether it prints before the open or after the close, the consensus EPS, and once it lands the reported EPS with its beat or miss. Pass symbol for one name.

## Query parameters

- `symbol` string
- `limit` integer
- `fresh` boolean

## Response `200`

summary + source + data + meta envelope

- Envelope: Every /v1 response. `summary` states the answer as one plain-English sentence and `source` says who to credit for it, both before the raw `data`, so the finished claim is the first thing a reader meets.
  - `summary` string: The answer as a sentence, with the numbers in it. Identical to the sentence the matching MCP tool returns.
  - `source` object: Who to credit and where a reader can check the number.
    - `name` string
    - `url` string, uri: The Helious page backing this answer.
    - `cite_as` string
    - `attribution` string
    - `live` string: How current these numbers are on YOUR plan, and how to ask for them again. Says the data is live only on a tier that serves it live.
  - `data` object: The dataset itself.
  - `meta` object: When it was true, and what your plan allows.
  - `plan_limit` object: Present only when your plan moved the window. Says this is a plan limit rather than missing data, what Helious holds behind it, and the exact step to relay to the person you work for.

## Other responses

- `429`: Over the per-minute limit (code rate_limited, Retry-After the rest of the minute) or the wallet cannot pay (code out_of_credits: credits_left, resets_on, retry_after_seconds, packs, topup_url, upgrade_url, and fresh_costs on a held plan). Nothing is charged for a refusal.

## Changes

- **2026-10-20** `06bada17ad7a`: 2 info
  - added the new optional `query` request parameter `fresh`
  - added the non-success response with the status `429`
