    I'm looking for a free site that has static URLs / single pages that contain the entire option chain for given underlyings without having to use an on-site Java or other type of filter.

    I want to easily copy/paste entire chains + basic data (maybe even automate it down the line), but the default URL for option chain data on most sites I've checked will only display PARTIAL chains (typically with only the nearest expiration date, or near-the-money strikes), and require the user to apply a filter to display the entire chain; but doing so nearly always keeps the same URL, it just displays different data (because of how the site has architected the fetching). But I want a single URL I can bookmark or stick in a batch file that will immediately display the entire chain without having to apply a filter.

    E.g. the URL: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/options/
    By default Yahoo displays only the most recent expiry...yes, I can select other expiries from the dropdown, but I want a single URL I can bookmark that by default displays the ENTIRE option chain on a single page.

    Any help?
     
  2. IMO ....... The best is Yahoo Finance. No exceptions.

    Can't tell if this is troll.
     

    • Good luck in finding a better option chain than Yahoo Finance.
    • Nobody will post a better alternative.

    Or pay for ORATS to get all options downloaded via Excel.

    In the 2% chance that this is not a troll, the problem is this:
    Go to the URL from my OP > https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/options/
    Do you see how it ONLY displays the option chain for ONE expiry date (the nearest one...in this case: Jan 22, 2021). There is no option to display the ENTIRE option chain. Therefore, Yahoo, as much as it has all of the data, is not a good source because you can't copy or scrape every strike and every expiry at a single URL. Make sense?

  9. You will get that at different websites. Just look it up online. I’m sure there must be some free ones out there.
