Options Data API for Fintech Products & Dashboards
Embed licensed U.S. options market data in customer-facing products — live flow monitors, chain explorers, and internal analytics — without operating your own OPRA stack.
Who this is for: fintech product and platform teams that need a developer-first options data API with predictable JSON, multi-language clients, and one key across streaming and REST — not a trading UI you have to white-label.
Build options features without owning market-data ops
Authenticate once, pick the access pattern that fits the UI, and keep research, production, and support on the same vendor.
Ship live widgets over WebSocket
Power flow tickers and alert inboxes with filtered prints (~10M trades/day capacity on the feed) and ~50ms API responses in the US.
Render chains over REST
One POST returns strikes, expirations, bid/ask, OI, volume, IV, and Greeks for the latest session or a historical day.
Support power users with SQL
Offer advanced export/analytics paths via historical ClickHouse SQL without standing up your own warehouse of option prints.

Example: one key across product surfaces
// One API key → three product surfaces
const KEY = process.env.OPTIONDATA_API_KEY;
// 1) Live flow for customer dashboards
const ws = new WebSocket(`wss://ws.optiondata.io?token=${KEY}&symbols=SPY`);
// 2) Chain snapshot for a symbol detail page
await fetch('https://www.optiondata.io/api/option-chain', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ symbol: 'SPY' }),
});
// 3) SQL for internal analytics
await fetch('https://www.optiondata.io/api/historical/sql', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ sql: 'SELECT count() FROM RawOptionTrades WHERE date = today()' }),
});APIs fintech teams wire first
Start with flow and chains for UX; add SQL when power users need research depth.
Options data API for fintech — FAQ
Can I embed OptionData in a commercial fintech product?
Yes, subject to your subscription and OPRA/redistribution terms. The APIs are designed for application backends: WebSocket streaming, REST chains, and SQL analytics behind your own UX.
Do I need separate keys for real-time and historical?
No. One API key authenticates real-time WebSocket, historical SQL, and option-chain REST for the entitled customer.
What is the pricing model?
A single Pro plan includes all three APIs at $599/month list price. First-year promotional pricing is $299/month with a coupon. Trial is 14 days; contact sales for enterprise needs.
How reliable is the service?
OptionData publishes a 99.9% uptime (30-day) signal and typical ~50ms API response times in the US for HTTP surfaces, alongside the live WebSocket feed.
