Where does Polygon’s Options data come from?
We receive our options data directly from the Options Price Reporting Authority (OPRA)
OPRA disseminates consolidated last sale and quotation information originating from the national securities exchanges that have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide markets for the listing and trading of exchange-traded securities options. This allows us to provide accurate and reliable options market data to our customers.
