Crypto Options Gamma Exposure (GEX) API

Where option-dealer hedging flows concentrate, and whether they damp or amplify price moves — computed live from Deribit's public option book, no key, nothing stored. Each open option carries gamma; when dealers are net long gamma they hedge against the move (buy dips, sell rips) and volatility is suppressed, and when they are net short gamma they hedge with the move and volatility is amplified. The gex endpoint aggregates Black-Scholes gamma across every listed expiry, weighted by open interest, into the net dealer gamma exposure (in dollars per 1% move), the call and put gamma split, the zero-gamma flip level — the spot price at which net GEX crosses zero, the boundary between the mean-reverting (positive-gamma) and trending (negative-gamma) regimes — where spot sits relative to it, and the strikes holding the most gamma (the pinning magnets and acceleration zones). The profile endpoint returns GEX by strike, across all expiries or one. The expiries endpoint returns net GEX per listed expiry. This is the dealer-gamma / GEX analytics cut for crypto — distinct from the max-pain / open-interest positioning view, the implied-vol skew surface, the raw option chain and the single-option Black-Scholes pricer in the catalogue. GEX uses the SpotGamma convention (dealers long calls / short puts, r=0) and Black-Scholes gamma from mark IV — a model estimate of positioning, documented as such, not exchange-reported dealer inventory. Currency is BTC, ETH, SOL or XRP.

Deribit API
Live market data from Deribit — the leading crypto options and futures exchange. A keyless, no-account JSON wrapper over Deribit's public v2 API. Read the spot index price for any settlement currency (BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT), pull a full ticker for any instrument — last / mark / index price, best bid-ask, open interest and 8-hour funding for perpetuals, plus mark implied volatility and the greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta, rho) for options — list the entire active instruments catalog by currency and kind (future, option, spot, combos) with strikes, expiries and contract sizes, and fetch per-currency order-book summaries across all live instruments. The raw exchange feed for derivatives desks, options dashboards, volatility models and trading bots — distinct from analytics products: this is Deribit's own ticker, instrument and book data, decoded into clean JSON.

Paradex Perps & Options DEX API
Live market data for Paradex, the Starknet-appchain perpetuals and options DEX, with no key. List every instrument (perpetual futures, dated options and spot) with full contract specs; pull a per-market summary with mark price, 24h volume, open interest, funding rate and — for options — implied volatility and full greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta); read the live order book; and stream recent public trades. Paradex is one of the few venues exposing on-chain options greeks over a keyless feed — ideal for derivatives dashboards and options analytics.

Variance Risk Premium API
How much more volatility the options market is pricing in than the market has actually delivered — the carry that every short-volatility strategy harvests — computed live from Yahoo Finance, no key, nothing stored. Implied volatility (the VIX and its cousins) is almost always richer than the volatility that subsequently shows up: investors pay up for protection, and that gap, the variance risk premium, is one of the most persistent paid-for risks in markets. This API measures it directly across the major asset classes that publish an implied-vol index: for the S&P 500 (VIX), the Nasdaq 100 (VXN), crude oil (OVX) and gold (GVZ), it takes the live implied-vol index and subtracts the realised volatility actually delivered by the underlying over the matching ~30-day window (annualised standard deviation of daily log returns), and returns the premium in volatility points, the implied/realised ratio and a rich/cheap read. A large positive VRP means options are expensive relative to what the market has been doing (sellers are well paid); a negative VRP — implied below realised — is rare and flags that options are cheap, often during or right after a stress event. The premium endpoint returns all four markets ranked; the asset endpoint returns one market with 21- and 30-day realised legs; the history endpoint returns the VRP time series. This is the implied-minus-realised / variance-risk-premium cut for equities and commodities — distinct from the implied-vol level board (no realised leg), the realised-volatility dashboard (no implied leg) and the crypto-only DVOL/VRP API.

VIX Term Structure API
The shape of the equity volatility curve — the single most-watched regime signal in the options world — computed live from Yahoo Finance, no key, nothing stored. A VIX level tells you how scared the market is right now; the term structure tells you whether that fear is short-term panic or a calm, persistent state, and which way it is rolling. This API reads the S&P 500 implied-volatility curve across four tenors — the 9-day VIX, the headline 30-day VIX, the 3-month VIX and the 6-month VIX — and turns it into a regime. When the curve slopes up (VIX < VIX3M < VIX6M) the market is in contango: calm, with near-term vol cheaper than far, the state short-vol strategies harvest. When it inverts to backwardation (VIX above VIX3M) the front end is bid above the back: acute stress, fear spiking, historically near capitulation. The structure endpoint returns the live curve, the contango ratio (VIX / VIX3M), the short-end ratio (VIX9D / VIX), the roll yield a short-vol position would earn, the slope classification and a regime read, with VVIX (the vol of the VIX) for context. The history endpoint returns the daily time series of the contango ratio and flags every backwardation day. The percentile endpoint places today's contango ratio in its one-year range. This is the volatility term-structure / contango-backwardation cut — distinct from the cross-asset VIX-family level board, the crypto DVOL index and the realised-volatility APIs. It is the shape of fear, not its level.
