Introducing “allexpirations” and Faster EOD Options Data Retrieval with MongoDB
Introduction:
We’re thrilled to announce two new features that will significantly improve your experience when fetching End-of-Day (EOD) options data: the “allexpirations” keyword and a MongoDB-backed data retrieval system that is 100 times faster!
- Using “allexpirations” for all expiration dates:
By using the keyword “allexpirations” in the API call, you can now easily retrieve data for all expiration dates without having to specify each one individually. - MongoDB-powered EOD options data retrieval:
We’ve recently migrated our EOD options data to a MongoDB database, resulting in a 100x speed improvement when fetching data. This performance boost has allowed us to remove the previous limitation of requiring an actual expiration date, giving you more flexibility and convenience when working with options data.
How to use “allexpirations”:
To take advantage of the new “allexpirations” feature, simply replace the “expiration” parameter in the API call with the “allexpirations” keyword. For example:
This call will return EOD options data for the specified underlying and quotedate, but for all expiration dates available in the dataset.
Benefits of using “allexpirations” and MongoDB-powered retrieval:
- Streamlines the process of fetching EOD options data for multiple expiration dates.
- Reduces the number of API calls needed to retrieve data for all expirations.
- Allows for easier analysis and comparison of options data across different expiration dates.
- Significantly faster data retrieval due to the MongoDB implementation, providing you with quicker access to the data you need.
Conclusion:
We hope you find the new “allexpirations” feature and MongoDB-powered data retrieval highly beneficial for your options data analysis. As always, we’re committed to continuously improving our API and providing you with the best tools for your data needs.
