## 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 change_ytd above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/change_ytd" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 2.6472" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:23:09.926Z",
 "signal": "change_ytd",
 "condition": "> 2.6472",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "PHOS",
   "name": "First Phosphate Corp. American Depositary Shares",
   "value": 177339
  },
  {
   "ticker": "ELOX",
   "name": "Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 16771.7273
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/change_ytd" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 2.6472" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "signal": "change_ytd",
 "condition": "> 2.6472",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "ELOX",
   "name": "Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 5488.999999999999
  },
  {
   "ticker": "ILLRW",
   "name": "Triller Group Inc. Warrant",
   "value": 276
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/change_ytd/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 2.6472", "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=change_ytd IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=change_ytd" -d "columns=change_ytd" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

#### 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": "change_ytd > 2.6472", "target_url": "https://example.com/hooks/tickerbot"}'
```

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

### Use series — `/v2/series`

Its history over time, on one aligned grid. (https://tickerbot.io/docs/endpoints/series.md)

#### History — the column on an aligned time grid

```bash
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/series?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&columns=close,change_ytd" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```
