How to know if a security is optionable?

[aleshinsky]

I'm building a database of listed US securities. For my purposes it is important to know if a security is optionable - monthly only or both monthly and weekly.

Are there datasources (free/paid) available that provide this information? Many thanks in advance.

The list of available fields is documented at https://www.theocc.com/market-data/batch-processing.jsp
