Dividend - ex date, payment day, amount per share about yahoofinance

I analyzed the data for the symbols which displayed Ex-Dividend Date , Earnings Date on Yahoo Finance page.

The data returned by yahoo end point clearly contains Earnings Date. It also contained a data element named dividendDate but the value did not match Ex-Dividend Date. I will look more into it but at this point I don't have data to display in the sensor.

I looked at the received data again and the data element to dividend date was "dividendDate":1636588800 which translated to 11/10/2021, 6:00:00 PM. Repeating the same exercise for MSFT gave dividendDate of 1646870400 => 3/9/2022, 6:00:00 PM but Ex-Dividend Date is Feb 16, 2022. Definitely the Ex-DividendDate is comiing from somewhere else.

By comparing against NASDAQ data, it seems that dividendDate is Dividend Pay Date which was 11/11/21 for AAPL (probably the next day). For MSFT, it was 3/10/2022 (again the day after 1646870400). I verified the same for a couple other symbols. So at the least I can add that.
