Free API or similar to get Next Earnings Date for stocks

Question

I am looking for an API or similar where I can get the next (upcoming) earnings date for a stock. I have googled for it and haven't found anything usable. I know of both the Yahoo and Google finance APIs, but none of them provide the next earnings date. Many sites, i.e. www.finviz.com (look for "Earnings" here http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=c) have the next earnings date information, but no API to get it.

Does anyone know where I can fetch the next earnings date?

Thank you :-)

I think this may have what you need, it's not free but it has a free trial which may be sufficient for your needs: http://www.zacksdata.com/zacks-data-api
