Crypto Implied Volatility Index (DVOL) & VRP API
The crypto market's "fear gauge" and the premium option sellers earn, read live from Deribit's public DVOL index and Binance's candles — no key, nothing stored. DVOL is Deribit's 30-day forward implied-volatility index for BTC and ETH, the crypto equivalent of the VIX: the single number that says how much volatility the options market is pricing in. The index endpoint returns the latest DVOL, the session open/high/low/close, the 24-hour change and a plain-language regime label (low, normal, high, extreme). The vrp endpoint computes the variance risk premium — implied vol (DVOL) minus the realised volatility actually delivered over the last 30 days (annualised standard deviation of daily log returns from Binance candles): when implied sits well above realised, option sellers are being paid a premium and the rich/cheap signal flags it; when implied is below realised, options are cheap relative to what the market has been doing. The history endpoint returns the DVOL index time series. This is the implied-volatility-index / variance-risk-premium cut — distinct from the realised-volatility API (which has no implied leg), the equity VIX-family indices and the option-chain, skew and gamma APIs in the catalogue. Currency is BTC or ETH (the assets Deribit publishes DVOL for).
