Get Options Data In Python With TD Ameritrade API: Advanced Guide

This one is for all you option lovers. Here's an in-depth guide to using tda-api library to get options data in python from the TD Ameritrade API.

The code from the video can be found below.

This is incredibly useful in many ways; imagine the following example.

Use an equity screener to find optionable tickers for option trade candidates. These tickers pop on the radar for further investigation, and our options trading methodology is straight forward and quantified - sell puts on 45 - 90 DTE contracts, at strikes below spot price.

These requirements can be expressed, and data for these specific options can be returned by using this API.

Further details and code documentation can be found below.

Is it possible to get specific scanner results using api? Or can we build the scanner calculations in python and use it to tech options data that meet the criteria? Thank you for the great video.

Do you have any idea when developer accounts will once again become available for TDA/Schwab? And how much the API will change?
