I only see how to download the current price of options. Is there a way to get the historical prices of options via rameritrade?

It does not appear that TD offers this capability after testing the API directly

Are you aware of any other free source other than tdameritrade that offers historical option quotes?

Historical option data is massive in size. People pay a lot of money for it. Doubt anyone is giving it away for free unfortunately.
