Details

Authentication
None. Public endpoint.
Rate limit
1200 requests per minute per IP
Server cache
60s
Edge micro-cache
10s
Update frequency
Collector round every 10 minutes; a venue is fresh for 25 minutes after its last successful round.
Window
Latest snapshot; volume fields cover the trailing 24 hours.
Data sources
Public REST option endpoints of Deribit, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate and Coincall, collected and stored by CoinBoss (sd_opt_latest, sd_opt_summary_hourly). No third-party aggregator is involved.
Exchange coverage
Six option venues. A coin that has no listed options on the selected venues returns HTTP 200 with null fields, `meta.quality = "UNAVAILABLE"` and the reason under `coverage.unavailable`. Venues without a public option feed are listed there as well.
Pagination
No paging; all strikes of the selection are returned.
Sorting
Strike ascending.
Units
USD notional = contracts × contract size × spot index price of the venue. `*_coin` fields are in units of the underlying coin. Implied volatility is in percent (55 = 55 %). `vol_premium_usd_24h` is premium turnover, reported separately and never added to notional volume.
Method
pain_usd at strike K = Σ call OI × max(K − strike, 0) + Σ put OI × max(strike − K, 0), in USD. `max_pain` is the K with the smallest pain_usd.

Unix epoch milliseconds (UTC) unless the field description says otherwise

Errors

Failed calls share one shape on every endpoint. The full list is on the errors page. Errors and rate limits →

CodeHTTPMeaningWhat to do
INVALID_PARAM400A required parameter is missing or a value is not accepted. `param` names the parameter when it is known.Do not retry unchanged; fix the request.
UNAUTHORIZED401The `CB-API-KEY` header was sent but the key is unknown or revoked. Public data needs no key — drop the header or use a valid key.Do not retry unchanged.
FORBIDDEN403The route is not part of the public API (internal or account-only).Do not retry.
NOT_FOUND404Unknown route, or the requested coin / exchange / fund does not exist.Do not retry; check the path and identifiers against the catalog.
RATE_LIMITED429More requests than the per-minute limit. `Retry-After` gives the seconds to wait.Wait for `Retry-After`, then retry with backoff.
INTERNAL500Unexpected server error. The message is generic by design; quote `request_id` when reporting it.Retry once after a few seconds; report it with the request id if it persists.
UPSTREAM_FAILED503The data source behind this endpoint did not answer in time. No stale or substitute numbers are returned in its place.Retry with backoff; check the status page.
UNAVAILABLE501 / 503The dataset is temporarily not ready (cache warming) or the endpoint has no lawful public source yet.Retry later; the catalog marks endpoints that are unavailable by design.
REQUEST_FAILED200Some older endpoints answer HTTP 200 with `success: false`. Always check `success`, not only the HTTP status.Depends on the message; treat as a failed request.
