In regards to

"'function get_earnings_history -> Exception: "string indices must be integers"',"

This looks to be an issue with change Yahoo made to its API.

If you run the function from stock_info.py:

def get_earnings_history(ticker):
        url = "https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings?symbol=" + ticker
        result = _parse_earnings_json(url)
        return result["context"]["dispatcher"]["stores"]["ScreenerResultsStore"]#["results"]["rows"]

the ["stores"] key no longer returns a dict with ["ScreenerResultsStore"] key but a string of 900,000+ characters.

I'm assuming Yahoo blocked this due to their rollout of Yahoo Finance Plus Essentials which is $30/mo

@dancassin any luck for you?
i am facing similar issues with get_company_info function

ticker_symbol = "ABFRL.NS" company_info = si.get_company_info(ticker_symbol) print(company_info)

the following error i am getting

in get_company_info
json_info = json_info["assetProfile"]
TypeError: string indices must be integers

I don't believe there's a way to resolve this since it is built on Yahoo! giving you the information for free. Now that the info isn't free, there's no data to extract.
