Historical options data API

Query options data first. Analyze it visually when you need context.

OptionChainIQ is an API-first options data product for captured chains, Greeks, IV/HV, OHLCV, signals, scanners, and strategy candidates. The dashboard is included as the analysis layer: Overview, Trade Ideas, Volatility Scanner, UOA, IV Regime, watchlists, and journal context. Build research workflows on historical option chain snapshots by querying contracts by symbol, expiration, strike, date, and capture run, then compare how premium, liquidity, Greeks, and implied volatility changed over time for backtesting, scanners, and internal dashboards.

UOA

Inspect volume, open interest, premium flow, and signal changes when unusual activity shows up in the data.
