Plz try https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/earnings?token=&symbol=TD.TO instead.

Thanks. However, TD is also listed in the NYSE. Why can't I access it like I described above?

finnhubio commented 4 years ago

We are trying to do better on the automatic mapping for symbols listed on multiple exchanges but it is still work in progress so you should figure out the main exchange of a company and put in the correct symbol to get full data for fundamentals endpoint.

For fundamental data, all symbols point to the same company (unlike stock price) so it doesn't make any difference in the underlying data.

We just made a huge upgrade on the automatic symbol mapping today. It also include TD -> TD.TO . You can try to query again now. Hope it helps.

It's working now, thanks!

Sorry for bothering again! This is a bit different, but still similar and happening for Berkshire Hathaway. When getting the earnings for the A stock, everything ok; but it doesn't return anything for the B stock.

OK: https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/earnings?&symbol=BRK-A&token= Not OK: https://finnhub.io/api/v1/stock/earnings?&symbol=BRK-B&token=

Thanks for letting us know. We will look into it.

Our data team has decided not to map class B into class A at this point. You will need to query class A share to get fundamental data.
