## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need crypto options market analytics — particularly IV, skew, and volume — for a specific token symbol without needing a full-service brokerage API key. Ideal for agents doing derivatives-aware market analysis or sentiment inference from options flow.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid symbol parameter returns 400 error
- Symbol not supported or no options market exists for it returns empty or 404
- Payment not settled returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429
- Stale data if underlying data provider is lagging
