## 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 profit_margin above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/profit_margin" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 0.697" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:25:25.366Z",
 "signal": "profit_margin",
 "condition": "> 0.697",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "USO",
   "name": "United States Oil Fund, LP",
   "value": 25786.2891
  },
  {
   "ticker": "MGX",
   "name": "Metagenomi Therapeutics, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 106.9339
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/profit_margin" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 0.697" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "signal": "profit_margin",
 "condition": "> 0.697",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "OTF",
   "name": "Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp.",
   "value": 543.8310185185185
  },
  {
   "ticker": "CLRO",
   "name": "ClearOne, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 508.74074074074076
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/profit_margin/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 0.697", "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=profit_margin IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=profit_margin" -d "columns=profit_margin" \
  -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": "profit_margin > 0.697", "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)
