## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability financial-datasets-earnings-snapshots-api-abc03d4b
```

Example prompt: What were NVIDIA's most recent quarterly earnings — did they beat analyst estimates, and how did EPS and revenue compare to the same quarter a year ago?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured earnings release data — EPS, revenue, estimates, and surprises — for a US-listed stock, especially when comparing the latest quarter against analyst expectations or the prior year. Prefer this over income statement endpoints when you specifically need the earnings-release view with analyst estimate and surprise fields, rather than raw standardized SEC filing financials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an empty result or 404-style error
- Non-Professional use limitations may restrict access to historical depth or certain fields without a paid plan
- Pagination cursor mismatch or stale cursor may return an error or unexpected page
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) may block the call
- Tickers for non-US-listed companies will not return results

## How this service works

Earnings snapshots for a US-listed ticker from the earnings release: quarterly and year-to-date revenue, EPS, net income, estimates, surprises and year-over-year changes where available, with the filing date and source URL; newest first. Use when an agent asks how the latest quarter compared with estimates or a year ago. Non-Professional use; Professional use needs a plan at financialdatasets.ai.

## Output

A list of earnings snapshot objects sorted newest first, each containing the report period, filing date, quarterly and year-to-date revenue, EPS (actual and estimated), net income, earnings surprise (absolute and percentage), year-over-year change figures where available, and a source URL to the original filing or earnings release.
