## 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 basic_earnings_per_share above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/basic_earnings_per_share" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 7.7" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:22:50.180Z",
 "signal": "basic_earnings_per_share",
 "condition": "> 7.7",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "LLYVA",
   "name": "Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. Series A Liberty Live Group Common Stock",
   "value": 457000
  },
  {
   "ticker": "TVC",
   "name": "Tennessee Valley Authority Power Bonds 1998 Series D due June 1, 2028",
   "value": 307000
  }
 ]
}
```

#### As-of — the same read at a past date

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/basic_earnings_per_share" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 7.7" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "signal": "basic_earnings_per_share",
 "condition": "> 7.7",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "NVR",
   "name": "NVR, Inc.",
   "value": 119.26
  },
  {
   "ticker": "SEB",
   "name": "Seaboard Corporation",
   "value": 113.71
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/basic_earnings_per_share/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 7.7", "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=basic_earnings_per_share IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=basic_earnings_per_share" -d "columns=basic_earnings_per_share" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```
