Ratios computed entirely from statement lines — margins, returns, liquidity, leverage. No market price in the formula.

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 →

Live — every ticker where it fires now
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/high_margin" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

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

curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \

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": "high_margin", "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 →

curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/series?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&columns=close,high_margin" \

    "t": "2026-08-14",
    "close": 495.4,
    "high_margin": true
   }
  ]
 }
}

Use events /v2/events

The flag as a timeline: each edge as a point event, and the spans it stayed true. Docs →

Firings — every enter edge as a point event
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/events" \
  -d "kind=signal" -d "signal=high_margin" -d "transition=enter" -d "since=2026-01-10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

 "query": {
  "kind": "signal",
  "tickers": null,
  "universe": null,
  "since": "2026-01-10T00:00:00.000Z",
  "until": null,
  "limit": 2,
  "signal": "high_margin",
  "transition": "enter"
 },
 "count": 0,
 "results": []
}
Spans — when it was true for one ticker (AAPL)
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/high_margin/AAPL/events" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed)
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:24:14.183Z",
 "ticker": "AAPL",
 "signal": "high_margin",
 "count": 0,
 "events": []
}

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