I don't think you answered the GP's question. What is the point of looking at the earnings call date if your script just returns a full list of companies? (Or maybe when you said 90 days you meant a shorter time period?)

I did answer it. I will try to illustrate it even further. Public-ally traded companies, regardless whether they're high growth tech or not, tend to have big jumps or declines in stock price on earning calls date.

Take for example Shopify. Their stock is very fast growing, however, you'll always notice a decent bump during earnings calls. I buy 30-60 days before this earnings call, because I anticipate it'll grow in the next 30-60 days (for the earnings call), given the previous growth. I sell on the day of earnings call

Ok, so an upcoming earnings call is not a filter, it's a buy signal/trigger.
