A new way to build a fintech app.

build it

Build a market dashboard.

A dashboard is rows, widgets, and freshness — three calls against one computed table: a row that already contains every signal, series that arrive pre-aligned, and a socket that pushes each recompute.

1. The row — One call returns everything a ticker card or table row could show: price plus all 421+ computed signals.

curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/tickers/AAPL" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

{
  "as_of": "2026-08-21T13:00:18Z",
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "data": {
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "name": "Apple Inc.",
    "price": 312.14,
    "day_change_pct": 0.0027,
    "rsi_14": 49.68,
    "above_sma_200": true,
    …
  }
}

2. The widgets — Whatever a widget renders — a chart, a sparkline, a gauge, a table of history — /v2/series feeds it: up to 50 tickers × 25 columns on one aligned time grid.

curl "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/series?tickers=AAPL,MSFT,NVDA&columns=close,rsi_14,volume_today&interval=1d&from=2026-01-01" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

{
  "interval": "1d",
  "tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "NVDA"],
  "columns": ["close", "rsi_14", "volume_today"],
  "count": 477,
  "series": {
    "AAPL": [
      { "t": "2026-01-02", "close": 271.01, "rsi_14": 43.79, "volume_today": 37838054 },
      …
      { "t": "2026-08-20", "close": 311.22, "rsi_14": 48.86, "volume_today": 25926977 }
    ],
    "MSFT": [ … ], "NVDA": [ … ]
  }
}

3. The freshness — Hold a websocket open and each subscribed ticker's freshly-computed row arrives on every refresh cycle — the same record as GET /v2/tickers/{ticker}, pushed.

import WebSocket from 'ws'
const KEY = process.env.TICKERBOT_API_KEY
const rows = new Map()   // ticker → latest computed row: the dashboard's state

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.tickerbot.io/v2/stream')
ws.on('open', () => ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', api_key: KEY })))
ws.on('message', (buf) => {
  const frame = JSON.parse(buf.toString())
  if (frame.type === 'authed') {           // wait for the ack — subscribing in 'open' races auth
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'subscribe', tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'NVDA'] }))
  }
  if (frame.type === 'update') {           // { ticker, as_of, data }
    rows.set(frame.ticker, frame.data)     // full computed row — re-render from here
  }
})

4. Per-user watchlists — Model each user's watchlist as a universe and every surface scopes to it: the same list drives their table, their widgets, and their alerts.

curl -X POST "https://api.tickerbot.io/v2/universes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "id": "watchlist_u123", "name": "u123 watchlist", "tickers": ["AAPL","NVDA"] }'

{
  "id": "watchlist_u123",
  "name": "u123 watchlist",
  "tickers": ["AAPL", "NVDA"],
  "size": 2,
  …
}

The calls behind it: GET /v2/tickers/{ticker} · GET /v2/series · WS /v2/stream · POST /v2/universes
