Intrinio Options Edge: Stream Options Data Fast
Intrinio's Options Edge is a powerful solution for anyone who needs fast, reliable, and affordable access to U.S. options data. Traditional OPRA feeds are expensive, complex, and burdened with licensing restrictions, but Options Edge provides a smarter alternative. By leveraging the midpoint of the bid and ask (rather than raw last-trade data), Options Edge delivers clean, real-time–style quotes along with advanced analytics like Greeks, implied volatility, and derived pricing.
This makes Options Edge ideal for developers, fintech startups, quantitative traders, and researchers who want to build tools, run backtests, or integrate options data into AI and machine learning models. Because the data is delivered via a simple REST API and WebSocket, it’s easy to plug directly into your applications without the overhead of exchange reporting requirements.
With full business and display rights included, Options Edge is designed to remove the barriers that usually make options data difficult to work with. Whether you’re building dashboards, running analytics, or training AI systems on options data, Intrinio gives you the flexibility to scale.
