Subscribe — webhook on a market-wide condition
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"q": "analyst_count_total > 19", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'

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

Same grammar on scan and webhooks. This column is live-tense only — it isn't historized, so ?asof= reads and series pulls don't carry it.
