# optionsview

This library downloads option chain data for a given symbol from yahoo finance.

The data includes Calls and Puts for all future expiration dates and strike prices.

There are two formats provided:

- Straddle view: Call and Put data for the same expiration and strike is side by side.

- Stacked view: Call and Put data is stacked together.

## Installation

The library requires Python 3.7 or later.

To install, type the following command on the python terminal:

pip install optionsview


## Implementation

Here is a basic example of how to download options straddle view data:

from options.data import download_options_view

download_options_view('TSLA')

The following is an example of downloading the Call and Put data in a stacked format.

from options.data import download_options_view, View

folder = 'C:\Users\work\Documents'
download_options_view('TSLA', View.STACKED, folder)

To read the data into dataframes (and not create files) you can do the following:

from options.data import get_options_view_df

straddle_df, stacked_df = get_options_view_df('TSLA')

print(straddle_df.head())
print(stacked_df.head())

## Examples

The folder 'samples' in this repository, has some examples of the output from the library.
