Options Analytics API
Description
Build options chain dashboards for stocks and ETFs with expiration date selection, call and put contracts, strike prices, bid/ask data, last price, volume, open interest, implied volatility, and selected contract details.
This workflow is designed for financial dashboards, market research tools, derivatives analytics platforms, and applications that need structured options data without building a custom options data pipeline. It supports the typical user flow: select a ticker, choose an expiration date, review the options chain, and open a specific contract for more details.
Use Option Expirations to retrieve available expiration dates, Options Chain to display contracts for a selected date, and Option Contract Details to power individual contract views.
