Real-time and historical data for every options chain
Introducing: Stock options data APIs you’ll actually like using.
We connect directly to exchanges, enabling you to build your applications in the language of their choice with the most accurate real-time and historical stock options data in the world.
Hey Product Hunters 👋,
Katie here, Chief Product Officer @ polygon.io.
Polygon was founded back in 2016 after a bafflingly difficult odyssey trying to get API access to stock market data. That experience inspired us to build the first market data platform with modern technologies, transparent pricing, and self-service access. We think that people like you are going to build the next generation of finance, and we want to make sure that getting access to market data is the easy part.
This week we’re taking a major step towards that goal – the launch of our new Stock Options API. We’re making full real-time trade and quote data from options markets available to individuals for the first time ever.
What We Do
~ Thoughtfully designed REST and WebSocket APIs for market data
~ Stock, crypto, forex, and now options data sourced directly from exchanges
~ A free tier so you can start building right away
~ Documentation that will make you cry tears of joy
Working with Polygon has been transformative, enabling us to finally display pricing data publicly, eliminate monthly reporting requirements, and significantly reduce costs.
We integrated Polygon into our platform so anyone building LLMs or RAG models can connect to it and leverage the real-time and historic data of stocks.
