Option Chain

Retrieve a a complete or filtered options chain for a given underlying symbol. Both real-time and historical requests are possible.

Making Requests​

Utilize OptionChainRequest for querying the endpoint through one of the three available methods:

MethodExecution LevelReturn TypeDescription
GetDirect[]OptionQuoteImmediately fetches a slice of []OptionQuote, allowing direct access to the options chain data.
PackedIntermediate*OptionQuotesResponseDelivers a *OptionQuotesResponse object containing the data, which requires unpacking to access the OptionQuote data.
RawLow-level*resty.ResponseOffers the unprocessed *resty.Response for those seeking full control and access to the raw JSON or *http.Response.

OptionChainRequest​

type OptionChainRequest struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

OptionChainRequest represents a request to the /v1/options/chain/ endpoint. It encapsulates parameters for symbol, date, and various option-specific parameters to be used in the request. This struct provides methods to set these parameters, such as UnderlyingSymbol(), Date(), Expiration(), and Strike(), among others.

Generated By​

Setter Methods​

These methods are used to set the parameters of the request. They allow for method chaining by returning a pointer to the *OptionChainRequest instance they modify.

Execution Methods​

These methods are used to send the request in different formats or retrieve the data. They handle the actual communication with the API endpoint.

resp, err := OptionChain().UnderlyingSymbol("AAPL").Side("call").Date("2022-01-03").DTE(60).StrikeLimit(2).Range("itm").Get()
if err != nil {
	fmt.Println("Error fetching option chain:", err)
	return
}
for _, contract := range resp {
	fmt.Println(contract)
}

Output​
