Option chain API FAQ

What is 期权链 API?

An API that returns the full option chain for an underlying: strikes, expirations, quotes, OI, IV, and Greeks.

Can I get historical option chains?

Yes. Pass date=YYYY-MM-DD or omit date for the latest available session.

Is the full chain available over WebSocket?

No. Full chains are REST-only. WebSocket is for trade flow, not whole-chain snapshots.
