Thanks. Real-time data is fine. May I retrieve the option chain at any time when market is open for a real-time snapshot?

Ye, this is one way. Actually my purpose is to re-organize the data on a web server which is running CentOS. I can get IB data on my laptop but can't do it on the server. Want to know if there is any option chain Web API...

YQL option chain is not accurate. I found some data inconsistent with nasdaq.com which is supposed to be correct. So this problem is re-opened. Still need help to retrieve the whole accurate option chain from somewhere.

finally I move to YQL and this is solved.

Thanks 2rosy. I tried this but it only returns the most close expiry option data. Is there any way to retrieve the next two months option chain? Or am I wrong?

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve Google option chain by linux c++. Unfortunately the website uses Ajax and the program could only get the static webpage. 1. Is there anyway to retrieve the data? 2. Alternatively, is there any good source of option chain? Thanks!

Butterfly, thank you. I'll check that. Actually I have found an excellent image library Imagemagick and successfully make it work with linux and c++. Now my website dynamically generates stock charts in .png format. I'm still working on it.

I have two accounts on IB. One popup order ticket window on placing order, the other doesn't popup that window. I want to disable the order ticket window to place order faster but can't find the option in configuration. Could anyone help?

Butterfly, could you tell the name of the PHP lib? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I should apologize for not explaining clearly. The purpose (or procedure) is: 1. A user submits a request for a specific chart from web browser. 2. PHP call system() to run a C++ program to generate the chart saved in the JPEG format. 3. The C++ program returns the...

I should say that I need the source code or library for development. ;)

Is there any program to generate stock charts similar to stockcharts.com? Any information is appreciated.

I read through the API reference of orderStatus() but can't find the variable of order type and order price. I must miss something. Anyone helps?

Thanks Butterfly. Fortunately I solved this problem. I'm using the EWrapper from the old version. The old definition is void contractDetails(const ContractDetails &contractDetails); while the new one is void contractDetails(int reqId, const ContractDetails &contractDetails); My...

Butterfly, did you read this thread? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=204724 I met the same problem. The old API version (maybe 2009) works but the 9.69 API doesn't work for me. How did you set the parameters of reqContractDetails( int reqId, const Contract...

I have the same problem. I use socket c++ API. When I call m_pClient->reqContractDetails(100, contract); only contractDetailsEnd() is fired. The contractDetails() just gives no response.

thanks Steve, good to know this.

I don't either. How did IB TWS do that? Is there a good algorithm to find all expiries and strikes without too much server communication?

Given a stock symbol, how to get all expirys and strikes of its option chain on IB API? I can't find such an API function yet.
