# Get earnings records

> Returns a flat list of EarningsRecord entries composed from SEC filing events (8-K/10-Q/10-K/20-F).

- Pass `ticker` for that company's most recent SEC filings. The same report_period can appear twice when an 8-K announcement and the matching 10-Q have both been filed (the 8-K sorts first).
- Omit `ticker` for the real-time earnings feed: the most recently filed earnings across covered companies (sourced from the Nasdaq earnings calendar), deduped by ticker.

Known REST quirk: this route accepts a `limit` query parameter for Financial Datasets parameter parity, but the underlying get_earnings tool ignores it — the FD JSON Schema for this tool exposes no limit parameter at all, and the server always returns up to 5 records regardless of the value passed here.

  title: Monid Finance API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: A Financial Datasets-compatible finance REST API backed by Monid providers.
  description: >-
    US equities fundamentals, prices, filings, news, insider trades, and a stock
    screener, generated faithfully from this repository's Go source
    (go/httpapi/rest.go, go/service, go/fd). This server is drop-in compatible
    with the Financial Datasets REST and MCP interface: the same route shapes,
    the same query parameters, and response objects whose field names and field
    order match the Financial Datasets contract, captured 2026-09-04. It is an
    independent, Monid-backed implementation; it is not affiliated with or
    endorsed by Financial Datasets, and no Financial Datasets data or outputs
    are used.


    **Bring your own Monid API key.** Every request carries the caller's own key
    in the `X-API-KEY` header. Usage bills that caller's own Monid wallet; this
    server never stores or logs the key. Get a key at https://monid.ai.


    **Coverage.** All 54 Financial Datasets REST paths are registered. all 54
    return data; most call live Monid providers, and a handful (the static
    catalogs and the accept-universe coverage lists; see each operation's
    description) never call Monid at all. Every registered path answers from a
    live source; there are no not_implemented stubs. /kpi/metrics/sectors
    returns the screener provider's own industry taxonomy and
    /index-funds/tickers the upstream fund universe, both scraped through Monid
    on demand. See docs/compatibility.md for every deliberate deviation and
    docs/openapi-notes.md for how this document was derived.


    **Errors and soft failures.** Every failure — real HTTP error and zero-cost
    soft failure alike — uses the two-key body `{"error": <code>, "message":
    <detail>}`. Some routes answer `not_found` with HTTP 200 rather than a 4xx
    status (see each operation's description).


    **Pagination.** List routes return a wrapped envelope (e.g.
    `{"income_statements": [...], "next_page_url": "..."}`) with opaque,
    server-minted base64url `cursor` tokens. Pages hold 10 records (100 for
    /prices). `next_page_url` is an absolute URL on this deployment's own host,
    present only when more records remain.


    **Ticker coverage lists are accept-universes, not data-coverage claims.**
    The eight `*/tickers` routes (e.g. /company/facts/tickers,
    /kpi/metrics/tickers) all answer from the same ~3,227-ticker US equity
    catalog: the tickers a route will ACCEPT as input, never a promise that
    every one of them has data for that particular dataset - this server has not
    measured per-dataset coverage. Their own `limit` (default 1000, max 5000)
    and `cursor` query parameters page through that shared universe
    independently of every other route's pagination convention above.
