# relative_volume

Ratio of today’s pace-adjusted volume to the 10-day average. 2.0 means 2× normal.

A numeric 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.

## 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 relative_volume above a cutoff

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/relative_volume" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 2.2421" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:25:36.087Z",
 "signal": "relative_volume",
 "condition": "> 2.2421",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "UAC",
   "name": "United Acquisition Corp. I",
   "value": 24.5198
  },
  {
   "ticker": "WX",
   "name": "Corgi All World 2x Daily ETF",
   "value": 19.4828
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/relative_volume" \
  --data-urlencode "condition=> 2.2421" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json
{
 "as_of": "2026-05-20",
 "signal": "relative_volume",
 "condition": "> 2.2421",
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,
 "results": [
  {
   "ticker": "PETZ",
   "name": "TDH Holdings, Inc. Common Shares",
   "value": 29.81911833178657
  },
  {
   "ticker": "JUNS",
   "name": "Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. Common Stock",
   "value": 29.69480033620042
  }
 ]
}
```

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

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/relative_volume/subscribe" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"condition": "> 2.2421", "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=relative_volume IS NOT NULL" \
  -d "order=relative_volume" -d "columns=relative_volume" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```

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

```json

  -d "order=relative_volume" -d "columns=relative_volume" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20" \

#### 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": "relative_volume > 2.2421", "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)

#### History — the column on an aligned time grid

```bash
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/series?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&columns=close,relative_volume" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
```
