Getting Bid and Ask data for option chains.

[alpinevm]

I've gone through the source code and I can't seem to find anything that references finding bid and ask data for options. Is there something I'm blatantly missing or is this feature not available.

Thanks!

Same issue. For me this is worthless without that

Are you looking for the bid/ask for a position or a symbol? This isn't very clear.

There are ways to pull bid/ask for options and options chains as well as symbol metrics. If you want something more simple without all the additional metrics and whatnot, that's on you. Here's a closed issue that shows a response that includes bid/ask.

Easiest way is to probably edit example.py and grab an underlying stock you are familiar with, i.e. 'GOOG' and find the associated option ticker for each strike/expiry you want by using something akin to:

    # get a list of option expirations for a given underlying
    undl = underlying.Underlying('GOOG')
    expiration = date(2021,4,1) 
    chain = await option_chain.get_option_chain(session, undl, expiration)
    for option in  chain.options:
        LOGGER.info('Strike: {}\t Ticker {}'.format(option.strike, option.get_dxfeed_symbol()))

    # choose ticker(s) and get the data via the streamer by subscribing
    sub_values = {
        "Quote": [".GOOG210401P2150", ".GOOG210401P2160"]
    }
    await streamer.add_data_sub(sub_values)

    # print the bid/ask
    async for item in streamer.listen():
      for data in item.data:
          LOGGER.info(data)   

or create an Option object and get the dxfeed_symbol manually and subscribe. Hope that helps

Here is another example I was able to make.

undl = underlying.Underlying('SPY')
chain = await option_chain.get_option_chain(session, undl)
exp = chain.get_all_expirations()
# for expiration_date in exp:
#     print(expiration_date)

# Choose the next expiration for example:
next_exp = exp[0]
chain_next_exp = await option_chain.get_option_chain(session, undl, next_exp)
options_tickers = []
for option in chain_next_exp.options:
    # LOGGER.info('Exp: {}\t Strike: {}\t {} \tTicker {}'.format(option.expiration_date, option.strike, option.option_type.value, option.get_dxfeed_symbol()))
    options_tickers.append(option.get_dxfeed_symbol())

# Form the option chain name and get the data via the streamer by subscribing
sub_values = {
    #"Quote": [".SPY210419P410"]
    "Quote": options_tickers
}
await streamer.add_data_sub(sub_values)

# print the bid/ask
async for item in streamer.listen():
    for data in item.data:
        LOGGER.info('Symbol: {}\tBid: {}\tAsk {}'.format(data['eventSymbol'], data['bidPrice'], data['askPrice']))
