# Dividend Calendar

> Announced dividend events between `from` and `to`, soonest first.

`GET https://api.bavest.co/v2/dividends/calendar`

Group: Dividends. Route id: `v2_dividends_calendar`. Included in: Startup, Pro, Growth.

## Description

Announced dividend events between `from` and `to`, soonest first.

Defaults to **upcoming** events: with no `from`, the window starts today
(UTC). Pass an explicit `from` in the past to include events that have
already gone ex. Both dates are inclusive, so `from` equal to `to`
returns that single day. Every page, including the cursor pages that
follow page 1, is sorted by `date` ascending, then `symbol`.

Scope the feed to one instrument with `symbol` or `isin` instead of
paging the whole market. An identifier that does not resolve returns 404;
it never falls back to the whole market. Each row carries the resolved
`isin`, and `currency` is null when the instrument's currency is unknown.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `symbol` | query | string | no (at most one of symbol, isin) | Optional ticker filter (e.g., `AAPL`). Omit for all securities. Provide at most one of symbol or isin. |
| `isin` | query | string | no (at most one of symbol, isin) | ISIN code (e.g., `US0378331005`). Provide exactly one of symbol or isin. Clear the symbol example before using an ISIN. |
| `from` | query | string (date) | no | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `to` | query | string (date) | no | End date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `limit` | query | integer (int32) | no | Maximum number of results to return (default 100, max 1000) Default `100`. |
| `offset` | query | integer (int32) | no | Number of results to skip for pagination (default 0) Default `0`. |
| `cursor` | query | string | no | Opaque cursor for cursor-based pagination. When provided, returns results after the cursor position. Takes precedence over offset. |

Optional, at most one of `symbol`, `isin`.

| `meta.parameters` | object | no | Echo of the request parameters the endpoint resolved. |

## Errors

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid request parameters. Returned when required query parameters are missing, have invalid types, or violate constraints (e.g., providing both symbol and isin when they are mutually exclusive). |
| 401 | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 404 | Resource not found. |
| 429 | Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the `Retry-After` header interval. |
| 500 | An unexpected error occurred on the server. If the issue persists, contact support with the X-Request-Id header value. |
| 502 | Upstream data provider returned an error or is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay. |
| 503 | Bavest cannot read its data store right now. The security may well have data; retry after the `Retry-After` header interval. |
| 504 | The request timed out waiting for a response from the upstream data provider. This may occur for complex queries or during peak load. |
| default | An unexpected error occurred on the server. If the issue persists, contact support with the X-Request-Id header value. |

- `403` from the gateway: the API key is invalid or switched off.
- `429` with message `Limit Exceeded`: the monthly quota of the key is used up. With `Too Many Requests`: the key is throttled, or this route is not in the key's plan. Wait for `Retry-After` when it is sent.
