REQUIRED

The Theta Terminal must be running to access data.

Behavior

Lists all dates of data that are available for a given security type, request type, and contract. To list all dates of data available for an option chain, simply omit the strike and right parameters and only include the exp and root parameters. Make sure you're sec is option. There is data for at least one of the contracts on the chain for each day on the returned list. It does not mean that every option contract under that expiration will have data.
This endpoint is updated overnight.
Sample data contains partial output of the request as the full response to the request is too large to display on this webpage.
