# long_term_debt

Long-term debt obligations. Often NULL because issuers fold this into `noncurrent_liabilities` instead of breaking it out.

A bigint signal column on the Tickerbot computed state table (20,798+ ticker rows) — computed by the platform, queryable by bare name across the API. Values are NULL on rows the signal doesn't apply to.

- Group: Fundamentals
- Category: Balance sheet
- Type: bigint
- Unit: USD
- Update cadence: post-close daily
- Universe: all tickers
- History: none — live row only, not historized (no as-of reads for this column)
- Nullable: yes

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