Field notes for the Eulerpool implied volatility json api. Stable names, ISO timestamps, numeric types — the contract you want if a second service is going to depend on this response.
Field-level tour of the Eulerpool implied volatility endpoint — what you get, how it’s updated, and how it counts against quota.
What the data contains
- IV rank and IV percentile for every US name with listed options
- Put/call skew by expiration and a full IV term-structure curve
- CBOE VIX plus the VIX term structure for macro vol overlays
From zero to a response
Register at /developers/register, drop the key in an environment variable, and run the snippet. First call should complete in well under a second from Europe or the US.
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY' \
'https://api.eulerpool.com/v1/volatility/{ticker}/iv-rank'Authentication
Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY. Keys are created at register in under a minute. Official SDKs take the key in the constructor; Excel stores it in the add-in settings. There is no key-in-query-string mode — do not paste tokens into public notebooks.
Primary route for this article: /v1/volatility/{ticker}/iv-rank. Docs: /financial-data-api/options-futures-data.
Coverage and freshness
Eulerpool maps 100,000+ securities across 90+ exchanges. implied volatility json api rides that same reference layer — identifiers resolve through ticker, name, ISIN, or CUSIP via search, so a European name is not a dead end. History depth depends on the source: prices go back decades, 1-minute bars to 2010, 13F to 2013, macro often 50+ years.
Paid plans can stream quotes over WebSocket; the free plan uses REST with a 15-minute delay on real-time equity fields. Fundamentals, ownership, and calendars are identical on every plan. Rate-limit headers ship on every response. Batch routes (up to 100 symbols) count as one request.
Quota and batching
One GET is one request. Batch endpoints (where available) pack up to 100 symbols and still count as one. Bulk Parquet/CSV exports exist when REST is the wrong shape. Headers on every response tell you what you have left.
Fit versus other sources
Most teams land here after fighting Yahoo Finance scrapers, Alpha Vantage’s 25-request/day ceiling, or a Polygon bill that ignored fundamentals. Eulerpool is a licensed implied volatility json api with statements, estimates, filings, and macro on the same key — and a terms of service you can actually show legal.
Deep comparisons live here: vs Alpha Vantage, vs Polygon, Yahoo Finance alternative, best stock market APIs in 2026.
Who should call this
- Quant research — pandas/R dataframes, point-in-time fields, 20+ years of history where the source publishes it.
- Fintech apps — watchlists, screeners, and portfolio views without relicensing Bloomberg for every customer.
- AI agents — typed JSON and a native MCP server so models stop inventing numbers for Implied Volatility JSON.
- Spreadsheets — the Excel and Google Sheets add-in covers the same endpoints as REST.
Implied Volatility JSON API is one slice of the Eulerpool Financial Data API. Adjacent routes — quotes, statements, ownership, macro — use the same key, so a prototype that starts here does not hit a wall at the second dataset.
