Please refer to this tutorial, which talks at length about metadata discovery for use with Eikon Data APIs (field names and parameters you can use for various data items you want to retrieve). If you're using Eikon Excel as @marcin.bunkowski suggested and as described in the tutorial I referenced above, earnings data from company reports is found under Reuters Fundamentals category, earning estimates are found under I/B/E/S Estimates and earnings calls are found under Events.
You can try with an example:
ek.get_data('TRI.TO',["TR.EPSMean","TR.EPSMeanEstFwdYrGrowth"],{'SDate':"1D",'FRQ':'D',})
The best way to get the fields is to use build formula wizard in Eikon Excel where you can find the necessary fields and also necessary parameters to fine tune your results which later can be easily translated into the API syntax.
