Try it out! You can test the API with the trial key TEST. Simply include it in your request headers; either here, or add the header "Ortex-Api-Key": "TEST" to your http request.

Trial key restrictions: Trial keys may be limited to a specific date range and set of regions. Requests outside the allowed regions or entirely outside the allowed date range are rejected; a date window that partially overlaps the allowed range is trimmed to it, reported in meta.restriction.

Path Params
string
required

Where to find the instrument: a venue (exchange symbol, MIC or ISO-2 country) or an identifier scheme (tid, sid, cid, isin, figi). See Identifying an instrument.

string
required

The ticker on that venue, or the value in that scheme. An ISIN, sid, cid or share-class FIGI answers for the main listing only; reference/listings lists the others. See Identifying an instrument.

Query Params
date

Returns the most recent snapshot on or before this date (format yyyy-mm-dd; defaults to the latest available). On a stock path, a ticker resolves to the listing that held it on this date, so a renamed or reused ticker names the company it named then.

date
required

The expiry date of the option chain to return. Format: YYYY-MM-DD.

Page number within the paginated result set. Must be >= 1. Defaults to 1.
