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/top_gainer" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed)
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:25:59.806Z",
 "signal": "top_gainer",
 "condition": null,
 "universe": null,
 "count": 2,

  },

}
Subscribe — webhook when a ticker starts matching
curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/top_gainer/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 →

Live — the whole market, filtered on this signal
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=top_gainer" \

As-of — a past intraday moment (minute state)
curl -G "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/scan" \
  --data-urlencode "q=top_gainer" \
  -d "asof=2026-05-20T17:45:00Z" -d "interval=1m" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed)

}
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": "top_gainer", "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 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=top_gainer" -d "transition=enter" -d "since=2026-01-10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed)
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:26:01.013Z",
 "query": {
  "kind": "signal",
  "tickers": null,
  "universe": null,
  "since": "2026-01-10T00:00:00.000Z",
  "until": null,
  "limit": 2,
  "signal": "top_gainer",
  "transition": "enter"
 },
 "count": 0,
 "results": []
}
Spans — when it was true for one ticker (AAPL)
curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/signals/top_gainer/AAPL/events" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
Response (sampled 2026-08-18, trimmed)
{
 "as_of": "2026-08-18T00:26:01.152Z",
 "ticker": "AAPL",
 "signal": "top_gainer",
 "count": 0,
 "events": []
}

Same grammar on scan and webhooks. This column lives in intraday state: ?asof= reads carry it at interval=1m with a timestamp, not at daily resolution.
