API Townhall This Friday

Weekly API Townhall Meetings

Theta Data will now host a weekly API townhall meeting between 1:00pm-1:30pm ET every Friday. This is a great place to get API questions answered directly from the creator of the Theta Terminal.

How do I join?

We will host the meeting in our discord server, a chat room existing and prospective Theta Data customers use. The meeting will be held in the "API Townhall" channel.

What else will be discussed?

A good problem to have: at Theta Data, there are so many different ways to access data and customize requests, it can be overwhelming. Most customers use our endpoints without special parameters. Some special parameters could seriously improve performance or tailor the output to suite your needs. We will showcase some documented but often missed features that might be game changing for certain use cases.

Theta Data Launches Commercial Licensing of Options Data API, Empowering Fintech Innovation

Theta Data has responded to customer requests and feedback by introducing commercial licensing. In the finance industry, success hinges on robust infrastructure and data, particularly in trading. Companies that embrace new technologies are poised to leverage their advantages. Theta Data is at the forefront of this movement, revolutionizing the way we access financial information. Instead of relying on outdated legacy data delivery protocols established decades ago, we've developed our own, prioritizing throughput and minimizing bandwidth costs.

Our flagship product, the bulk options snapshot, is poised to revolutionize the way you access options chain quotes. With just one request, you can receive a real-time last quote for over 14,000 contracts in a mere 40 milliseconds. In comparison, our competitors take over 8 seconds to deliver the same amount of data, requiring over 70 requests to achieve similar results.

But the benefits don't stop there. Thanks to our highly compressed protocol, there's no longer a need to invest time and resources in co-locating with your data provider. Say goodbye to costly cross-connects and lengthy setup times—Theta Data allows you to access data over the internet with minimal bandwidth costs.
