# Live technical signal

`GET /v1/last/signals/{venue}/{symbol}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sifting.io`
- URL: `https://api.sifting.io/v1/last/signals/{venue}/{symbol}`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - API key in query parameter `api_key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/sifting/apis/siftingio-market-data-api/docs/v1/last/signals/:venue/:symbol/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Current technical-analysis signal for a stock, FX pair, crypto asset, or commodity: a decision-ready summary (strong_sell to strong_buy) with a score from -1 to +1, plus the oscillator and moving-average indicators behind it, each with its value(s) and vote. Indicators still in warmup are omitted, so the vote counts sum to the rows returned. `price.bar_status` is `forming` when a live tick is folded into the current bar, `closed` when the last settled bar is used.

## Path parameters

- `venue` 'stocks' | 'crypto' | 'forex' | 'commodities', required
- `symbol` string, required

## Query parameters

- `interval` '1m' | '5m' | '15m' | '30m' | '1h' | '1d' | '1w' | '1mo'

## Response `200`
