GEX API FAQ

What is 期权 GEX API?

An API returning Gamma Exposure and related structure levels for an underlying option chain, for positioning dashboards and research.

Is this dealer inventory?

No. Put GEX uses a documented structural signing convention. It is not a report of any dealer’s actual book.

How do I get historical structure?

Pass date=YYYY-MM-DD when a retained snapshot is available; omit date for the active snapshot.
