US options data: chain snapshots, contracts, trades, quotes, greeks, IV, OI. Use when pulling option chains or contract metrics for analysis (e.g. AAPL Jan calls, SPY chain, NVDA IV, weekly puts).

Massive Options Data

Data supply layer for US options market data. Wraps the Massive (Polygon) options REST endpoints with a thin, predictable Python interface.

This skill does NOT generate strategies, signals, rankings, or trading advice — it only exposes options data.

Plan: Developer — REAL field availability

We are on Massive Options Developer ($79/mo). Build your callers against what's actually present in the API responses:

FieldDeveloper returns?Notes
details.* (ticker, strike, expiration, type)✅Always present.
implied_volatility✅Per contract, 15-min delayed.
greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega)✅Per contract, 15-min delayed.
open_interest✅Per contract, previous session.
day.{open,high,low,close,volume,vwap}✅Option prices (previous session OHLC), 15-min delayed.
underlying_asset.ticker✅Always present.
underlying_asset.price✅Current underlying price, 15-min delayed.
last_trade (price, size, timestamp)✅Last trade, 15-min delayed.
last_quote (bid/ask)❌Still not returned on Developer. Cannot calculate real-time spread.
Historical IV / IV Rank / IV Percentile❌Not exposed on any plan; build your own historical series.

ATM filtering now uses real underlying price:

chain = massive_option_chain_snapshot("AAPL")
# No need for twelvedata — underlying price is now included!
spot_price = chain["results"][0]["underlying_asset"]["price"]
atm_low, atm_high = spot_price * 0.95, spot_price * 1.05
for contract in chain["results"]:
    strike = contract["details"]["strike_price"]  
    if atm_low <= strike <= atm_high:
        # This is an ATM contract

If you need real-time bid/ask quotes, upgrade to Advanced ($199/mo).

Pagination — required for any DTE-range scan

Chain snapshots paginate by ticker sort order. A 250-row first page often covers just one expiration. To get all contracts in a DTE window you MUST walk next_url (see massive_paginate in exports.py). Skipping this is the #1 reason a "0 results" scan looks broken.

Typical chain sizes for a single underlying with one expiration window can exceed 450 contracts. Allow at least 4 pages.

Script Usage

python3 - <<'EOF'
import sys, json
sys.path.insert(0, "/data/workspace/skills/massive-options-data")
from exports import (
    massive_option_chain_snapshot,
    massive_option_contract_snapshot,
    massive_option_trades,
    massive_option_quotes,
    massive_option_aggregates,
    massive_list_contracts,
    massive_paginate,
)

snap = massive_option_chain_snapshot(underlying="SPY", limit=10)
print(json.dumps(snap.get("results", [])[:2], indent=2))
EOF

Functions (exports.py)

FunctionEndpointPurpose
massive_option_chain_snapshot(underlying, **filters)GET /v3/snapshot/options/{underlying}Full chain snapshot (price/greeks/IV/OI; quote+trade missing on Starter).
massive_option_contract_snapshot(underlying, option_ticker)GET /v3/snapshot/options/{underlying}/{contract}Single contract snapshot.
massive_list_contracts(underlying_ticker=None, **filters)GET /v3/reference/options/contractsReference list of option contracts (active or expired).
massive_option_trades(option_ticker, **range)GET /v3/trades/{option_ticker}Historical trade ticks. Available on Developer+.
massive_option_quotes(option_ticker, **range)GET /v3/quotes/{option_ticker}Historical NBBO quotes. Still returns 403 on Developer. Requires Advanced.
massive_option_aggregates(option_ticker, multiplier, timespan, from_, to, **opts)GET /v2/aggs/ticker/{ticker}/range/...OHLCV bars. Minute + second bars on Developer, all bars on Advanced.
massive_paginate(url, params=None, max_pages=20)—Walk next_url cursor pagination.

All functions return the raw JSON from upstream. HTTP errors raise via Response.raise_for_status().

Hardening notes

  • Probe first, code second. Before writing a filter pipeline against a new endpoint, dump one full record and inspect actual fields. Saves hours of "why is everything filtered out?" debugging.
  • Null handling. greeks, last_quote, last_trade may be absent; keep as None, never fabricate.
  • Caller-id. Every call should include a caller_id so transparent-proxy can attribute usage.

Credentials

Set MASSIVE_API_KEY via the agent's secure input flow. The key is injected by sc-proxy when present; the local script also reads it from the environment so it works in BYOK setups.
