OpenAPI

This endpoint is GET /v2/datasets/dividends. The full machine-readable schema (parameters, security, response envelope) lives in the OpenAPI spec.

Notes & limitations

A dividend is only final once approved and the ex-date is set: pass as_of when backtesting so proposed-but-unapproved distributions do not leak into a past date.
