Put/Call Ratio & Options Sentiment API
Live (15-minute delayed) options put/call sentiment analytics for US stocks and indices, computed from CBOE's public delayed-quotes feed. The ratio endpoint aggregates the entire option chain into the headline sentiment gauges — the put/call ratio by volume and by open interest, the total put and call volume and open interest, the contract counts, and the underlying price with its 30-day implied volatility (IV30) — plus a plain-language sentiment lean. The expiries endpoint breaks the put/call ratio down by expiration date, giving the term structure of sentiment. The strikes endpoint maps call-versus-put volume and open interest across strikes for an expiration, showing where positioning sits. This is the computed options-sentiment and positioning view — ratios and skew, not a contract dump — distinct from the raw options-chain, the volatility-index and the options-pricing calculators in the catalogue. US index options use an underscore-prefixed symbol (_SPX, _VIX); a ratio above 1 means more puts than calls (defensive/bearish lean). Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.
