Metrics crossing market price with financials — cap, EV, multiples, yield, beta — plus the size/style tags they own (cap tiers, beta tags, value_stock).

Query it

Every applicable form factor, grouped by endpoint family. Swap YOUR_KEY for the value from /dashboard/keys. 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. Docs →

Subscribe — webhook when a ticker starts matching
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/forward_pe/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 238.1", "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. Docs →

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": "forward_pe > 238.1", "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. Docs →

Same grammar on scan, series, and webhooks; state reads take ?asof= for point-in-time answers.
