Add following nuget packages

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.3" targetFramework="net45" />
</packages>

Step 3:

Create a C# POCO class for storing Json Response.

public class Earning
    {
        public double actualEPS { get; set; }
        public double consensusEPS { get; set; }
        public double estimatedEPS { get; set; }
        public string announceTime { get; set; }
        public int numberOfEstimates { get; set; }
        public double EPSSurpriseDollar { get; set; }
        public string EPSReportDate { get; set; }
        public string fiscalPeriod { get; set; }
        public string fiscalEndDate { get; set; }
    }

    public class EarningsInfo
    {
        public string symbol { get; set; }
        public List<Earning> earnings { get; set; }
    }

Step 4:

Write Web API Consumer for Get Request

using System.Threading.Tasks;

            IEXTrading_API_PATH = string.Format(IEXTrading_API_PATH, symbol);

            using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                //For IP-API
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri(IEXTrading_API_PATH);
                HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(IEXTrading_API_PATH).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    var earningsInfoList = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<EarningsInfo>().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                    foreach (var earningsInfo in earningsInfoList.earnings)

                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Actual EPS: " + earningsInfo.actualEPS);
                            Console.WriteLine("Estimated EPS: " + earningsInfo.estimatedEPS);
                            Console.WriteLine("EPS Surprise Dollar: " + earningsInfo.EPSSurpriseDollar);

                    }                                    
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public class Earning
    {
        public double actualEPS { get; set; }
        public double consensusEPS { get; set; }
