Build guides
Build guides
Anything you want to know about the market is a query over the table. Anything you want to build is a few queries in sequence. Start from 30+ example queries, or follow one of seven guides; every step is a real request with its captured response.
The guides
| Build | Steps |
|---|---|
| Example queries | 30+ questions about the market, each one query across two or three kinds of data. |
| Screener | Scan now, save the matches as a universe, subscribe to changes. |
| Backtester | Run the same scan as of each past date, price what came next, loop. No look-ahead. |
| Alert bot | Test the condition as a scan, subscribe it, receive the webhook. |
| Trading algorithm | Define the condition, validate it as of past dates, subscribe it, trade on the webhook. |
| AI trading agent | Connect over MCP, ask in English, and let a subscription interrupt the agent’s loop. |
| Fintech app | One row per ticker, series for the widgets, a websocket to keep it live, a universe per watchlist. |
| Custom signal | Define it as a SQL predicate, use it like a built-in, ask for its history, subscribe to it. |
Before you build
Every guide assumes a key (Authentication, free, no card) and the one idea under all of them: every ticker is a row, every data point is a column (we call it a signal), and each step is a query on the table, read live, as of any past date, or as a webhook subscription. The Quickstart is the first call.
