Invalid IPO Date Format for Sandbox Company Profile(+v2) Response

[nhmood]

What is the issue ? Plz describe in details

Calling the Company Profile and Company Profile 2 endpoints with the Sandbox key returns invalid data in the "ipo" field causing the clients to fail on parsing.

How to reproduce the error ?

Call the CompanyProfile or CompanyProfile2 endpoints with a Sandbox token. The sample ruby code below will fail using the sandbox with the date parsing error.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'bundler/setup'
require 'finnhub_ruby'

API_KEY = "sandbox_but8pi748v6uea8aqcq0"

FinnhubRuby.configure do |config|
  config.api_key['token'] = API_KEY
end

@client = FinnhubRuby::DefaultApi.new
begin
  @client.company_profile({symbol: "AAPL"})
rescue StandardError => e
  puts e.inspect
  puts e.backtrace
end

begin
  @client.company_profile2({symbol: "AAPL"})
rescue StandardError => e
  puts e.inspect
  puts e.backtrace

end

What is the expected result and why do you think it's the correct result ?

The "ipo" is expected to be a DateTime or Date format, however, in both responses, it is appearing as a random string as seen in the responses above. The field returns in the YYYY-MM-DD format in the non-sandbox response such that the handlers in the client can parse it correctly.
