## 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 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=dividend_date IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=dividend_date" -d "columns=dividend_date" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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