Getting Quotes on Call Options and Put Options
-
Does anybody know of any third party libraries that I can use to get the prices of call options on stocks? I would like quotes on put prices also? Bob
Google is probably a better place to check. Also, unless you are writing code in C/C++ to call the libraries then this forum wouldn't be the right place anyway.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Thanks for the response. I am writing C++ code and I am looking for a C++ callable library. Preferable an open source library. Also, before posting my question here, I did several searches using Google. However, they failed to turn up what I am looking for. Bob

Just to be clear whatever this is wrapped in, it still, of course, requires a service. And the service, not the library, is going to be what the significant part of the cost is. And that will be a recurring cost. Not to mention of course that there will probably be other functionality associated with the service which is probably a significant consideration - for example how exactly they manage the money that must exist. Since it is a service then it is probably best to look for the service or services that best meet the business needs and then look for libraries specific to those after that. If there is no C/C++ interface then write one.

How would a library provide such a feature? Stock prices are provided by stock exchanges, so it depends which exchange you are interested in, or if all of them, then you need to find a stock price service company. And then you will need to write some code to access their data feed, which will probably not be in C++.
