The EarningsCall Python library provides convenient access to the EarningsCall API from applications written in the Python language. It includes a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses.
- Python 3.8+
You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package, just run:
pip install --upgrade earningscallfrom earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
transcript = company.get_transcript(year=2021, quarter=3)
print(f"{company} Q3 2021 Transcript Text: \"{transcript.text[:100]}...\"")Output
Apple Inc. Q3 2021 Transcript Text: "Good day, and welcome to the Apple Q3 FY 2021 Earnings Conference Call. Today's call is being record..."
from datetime import datetime
from earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
print(f"Getting all transcripts for: {company}..")
# Retrieve all earnings conference call events for a company, and iterate through each one
for event in company.events():
if datetime.now().timestamp() < event.conference_date.timestamp():
print(f"* {company.company_info.symbol} Q{event.quarter} {event.year} -- skipping, conference date in the future")
continue
transcript = company.get_transcript(event=event) # Fetch the earnings call transcript for this event
print(f"* Q{event.quarter} {event.year}")
if transcript:
print(f" Transcript Text: \"{transcript.text[:100]}...\"")
else:

from earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
transcript = company.get_transcript(year=2021, quarter=3, level=2)
first_speaker = transcript.speakers[0]
speaker_label = first_speaker.speaker
text = first_speaker.text
print(f"Speaker: {speaker_label}\nText: {text}")Output

Text: Thank you. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Speaking first today is Apple CEO Tim Cook, and he'll be followed by CFO Luca Maestri. After that, we'll open the call to questions from analysts. Please note that some of the information you'll hear during our discussion today will consist of forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those regarding revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, other income and expenses, taxes, capital allocation, and future business outlook, including the potential impact of COVID-19 on the company's business and results of operations. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or trends to differ materially from our forecast. For more information, please refer to the risk factors discussed in Apple's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and the Form 8-K filed with the SEC today, along with the associated press release. Apple assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information which speak as of their respective dates. I'd like to now turn the call over to Tim for introductory remarks.
If you want to get the word-level timestamps, you can do so by setting the level parameter to 3.
Each timestamp is the number of seconds since the start of the transcript.
NOTE: Level 3 data is provided in any plan that includes Enhanced Transcript Data.
from earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
transcript = company.get_transcript(year=2021, quarter=3, level=3)
first_speaker = transcript.speakers[0]
words_and_start_times = list(zip(first_speaker.words, first_speaker.start_times))
print(f"Speaker: {first_speaker.speaker}")
print(f"Words with start times: {words_and_start_times}")Output
Speaker: spk11

If you want to get the prepared remarks and Q&A for a single quarter, you can do so by setting the level parameter to 4.
NOTE: Level 4 data is provided in any plan that includes Enhanced Transcript Data.
from earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
transcript = company.get_transcript(year=2021, quarter=3, level=4)
print(f"{company} Q3 2021 Prepared Remarks: \"{transcript.prepared_remarks[:100]}...\"")
print(f"{company} Q3 2021 Q&A: \"{transcript.questions_and_answers[:100]}...\"")Output

If you want to download the audio file for a single quarter, you can call the download_audio_file function.
from earningscall import get_company
company = get_company("aapl") # Lookup Apple, Inc by its ticker symbol, "AAPL"
print("Downloading audio file for Apple Inc. Q3 2021...")
audio_file = company.download_audio_file(year=2021, quarter=3, file_name="Apple Q3 2021.mp3")from earningscall import get_all_companies
for company in get_all_companies():
print(f"{company.company_info} -- {company.company_info.sector} -- {company.company_info.industry}")By default, this library grants you access to only two companies, Apple Inc. and Microsoft, Inc.
To gain access to 5,000+ companies please signup here to get your API key.
Once you have access to your API key, you can set the API Key like this:
import earningscall
earningscall.api_key = "YOUR SECRET API KEY GOES HERE"Alternatively, you can pass in your API key as an environment variable:
export ECALL_API_KEY="YOUR SECRET API KEY GOES HERE"
python your-python-script.pyfrom earningscall import get_sp500_companies
for company in get_sp500_companies():
print(f"{company.company_info} -- {company.company_info.sector} -- {company.company_info.industry}")When you call get_company("aapl") to retrieve a company, internally the library retrieves metadata
from the EarningsCall API. By default, it caches this metadata on disk in order to speed up subsequent requests.
If you prefer to disable this local caching behavior, you can do so with this code:
import earningscall
earningscall.enable_requests_cache = False
