// multi-step analysis

Chain calls. Build context.

Scan for oversold stocks, pull a full summary on the top pick, then compare it against peers. Each method returns categorical data you can branch on directly.

client.scan_oversold(sector="Technology")

Returns list of oversold tech tickers with severity rankings

client.get_summary("NVDA")

Full categorical breakdown — trend, momentum, volatility, fundamentals

client.compare(["NVDA", "AMD"])

Side-by-side comparison across all dimensions

// state changes

Track state changes effortlessly.

Most market data APIs return point-in-time snapshots. TickerAPI tracks state transitions — your agent sees what changed, not just what is.

python

summary = client.get_summary("AAPL")

json

{
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "changes": [
    {
      "field": "rsi_zone",
      "from": "neutral",
      "to": "oversold"
    },
    {
      "field": "trend",
      "from": "uptrend",
      "to": "downtrend"
    }
  ]
}

// what your agent sees

What your agent sees.

Every tool returns categorical facts — not raw OHLCV data. Your agent can branch on "oversold" without needing to know what RSI > 70 means.
