## Query it

Every applicable form factor, grouped by endpoint family. Response payloads are real captures, sampled 2026-08-18 and trimmed; your run's values and dates will differ.

### Use signals — `/v2/signals/{signal}`

One signal across the market: who matches now, who matched then, and a push when someone starts. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/signals.md)

#### Live — every ticker with analyst_count_hold above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/analyst_count_hold" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 8" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:22:37.684Z",
 "signal": "analyst_count_hold",
 "condition": "> 8",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "INTC",
   "name": "Intel Corp",
   "value": 19
  },
  {
   "ticker": "LULU",
   "name": "lululemon athletica inc.",
   "value": 18
  }
 ]
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook when a ticker starts matching

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/analyst_count_hold/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 8", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook — the same shape as GET /v2/webhooks/{id}, plus a one-time signing_secret for HMAC verification.

### Use scan — `/v2/scan`

The whole market through a WHERE clause — this signal composed freely with any other column. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/scan.md)

#### Live — the whole market, ranked by this column

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=analyst_count_hold IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=analyst_count_hold" -d "columns=analyst_count_hold" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed):

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:22:37.892Z",
 "query": {

   "relative_volume": null,
   "market_cap": 13575370896,
   "analyst_count_hold": 18
  }
 ]
}
```

#### Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"q": "analyst_count_hold > 8", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

Returns 201 with the created webhook object; deliveries carry the tickers matching the condition at each evaluation.
