Hi, does anyone have any recommendations on an API that would provide reliable and accurate data on upcoming earnings dates? I took a look at AlphaVantage, and see that the data there is consistently stale when it comes to upcoming earnings. For example, META's earnings is coming up on Feb 1, and AlphaVantage continues to show it as Jan 31. Any recommendations on alternative sources of data here?

Based on the information provided in the extracts, QuantConnect supports a variety of alternative data sources that you can use to augment your trading strategies. While the extracts do not specifically mention a source for future earnings dates, they do highlight the use of Alpha Vantage for such data. If Alpha Vantage is not meeting your needs, you might consider using custom data feeds.
QuantConnect allows you to import custom data into your algorithm. This could be a potential solution if you have access to another reliable source for future earnings dates. You can feed this data into QuantConnect for your purposes.
For more information on the alternative data supported by QuantConnect, you can check out their documentation.
Please note that while the cost of alternative data sets can be prohibitive for individual purchases, platforms like QuantConnect make this data available to their users, potentially overcoming the cost barrier.
Remember to always verify the reliability and accuracy of your data sources to ensure the effectiveness of your trading strategies.
