MagiQa Options API
Options chains, Greeks, scanners, and developer-friendly access—library and web paths for serious workflows.
Problem
Options data products often split awkwardly: powerful desks for institutions, toy APIs for everyone else. The goal was a credible middle path—rigorous enough for analysis, approachable enough for disciplined builders.
Approach
- Published a PyPI library (`magiqa-finance`) alongside REST endpoints so teams can choose their integration style.
- Implemented chain and Greeks computations with explicit assumptions documented where traders care.
- Built a web analysis surface for interactive workflows that complement automation use cases.
Outcome
- A tiered access model that lets teams start small and scale usage with predictable costs.
- A developer journey that does not require reading five PDFs before the first successful call.
Technology
Designed for builders
Options workflows reward consistency: stable identifiers, clear units, and error semantics that map to corrective action. The platform was iterated with feedback from real integration attempts—not hypothetical endpoints.
Distribution
Teams can start with a free API key on options.magiqa.us, use the magiqa-finance Python package, or adopt marketplace billing through RapidAPI—same product surface, flexible go-to-market paths.
Commercial offering
Commercial API with tiered plans and standalone or RapidAPI access—built for developers, fintech builders, and trading-tool creators.
