# Laevitas Options Instrument History > Laevitas Options Instrument History is a paid API for AI agents from apiv2.laevitas.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31). Retrieves historical time-series data for a specific crypto options instrument (price, IV, OI, volume) from a chosen exchange over a given time range. ## Facts - Endpoint: POST https://apiv2.laevitas.ch/api/v1/options/instrument-history?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.1/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-31 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/laevitas-options-instrument-history-ec42bdd3 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Eck-dn842wxnuDsRFAZNi Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability laevitas-options-instrument-history-ec42bdd3 -d '' ``` Example prompt: Pull the hourly implied volatility and price history for Deribit instrument BTC-27DEC24-100000-C from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 using the 'iv' projection at 1-hour resolution. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need historical time-series data for a specific, named options instrument (identified by exchange and instrument_name) over a defined time window. It is ideal for backtesting, strategy analysis, or volatility research that requires per-instrument granularity with flexible resolution (from native tick to daily). Prefer this over aggregated or cross-instrument endpoints when the exact contract identifier is known and temporal depth matters. ## Known failure modes - Invalid instrument_name for the specified exchange returns empty items or instrument_eligible=false in coverage - start or end not in valid ISO-8601 format causes a validation error - exchange value not in the supported enum list returns a 400 error - Requesting data older than coverage window returns empty dataset with empty_reason populated - Pagination beyond total_pages returns empty items array - Insufficient credits or expired subscription returns 402 Payment Required - Rate limiting or plan quota exceeded returns 429 or 403 ## How this service works Professional market data API for crypto derivatives, spot markets, prediction markets, Hyperliquid HyperCore data, proprietary volatility surfaces, and analytics. ## Authentication Use an API key for authenticated REST requests: ```http X-API-Key: your-api-key-here ``` Data and history endpoints also accept x402 without an API key: 1, 5 or 10 credits ($0.001 each) for data up to 1 year, 1–3 years or older. **Subscriptions with USDC:** Premium and Enterprise can be purchased on Base or Solana for a month, a quarter, six months or a year. Access is prepaid, with no automatic renewal. [Buy a subscription](https://v3.laevitas.ch/profile/subscription/wallet) or read the [USDC subscription guide](/x402#subscriptions). The subscription belongs to your signed-in Laevitas account; wallet sign-in does not require an email. Enterprise users generate an API key in V3 after activation. Plan and billing-period limits still apply. Subscription purchases are separate from API credit bundles.

Start with `GET /api/v1/options/backtests/strategies`, submit with `POST /api/v1/options/backtests`, then poll `/{id}` and retrieve `/{id}/result`. These responses have no data/meta wrapper. Paginated endpoints return the cursor at `meta.next_cursor`. Pass that value back as the `cursor` query parameter to fetch the next page. ## WebSocket Streaming Real-time streams are documented at `/websocket`. | Data | Channel pattern | | --- | --- | | Trades | `trades.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}` | | OHLC ticker | `ohlc.ticker.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}.{timeframe}` | | OHLCVT | `ohlc.vt.{market}.{exchange}.{instrument}.{timeframe}` | Variables: `market` is one of `perpetuals`, `futures`, `options`, or `spot`; `timeframe` is one of `1m`, `5m`, `15m`, `1h`, `4h`, or `1d`. ## Quick Start ```bash curl "https://apiv2.laevitas.ch/api/v1/futures/ohlcvt?exchange=deribit&instrument_name=BTC-PERPETUAL" \ -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here" ``` ## Output A paginated JSON object containing a dataset_id, projection type, pagination metadata (total rows, page, total pages, limit), data availability/coverage details (earliest and latest observed timestamps, instrument eligibility), and an array of time-series rows matching the requested projection (e.g. implied volatility, price, underlying price, or OI/volume) at the specified resolution. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "end", "start", "exchange", "instrument_name" ], "properties": { "end": { "type": "string", "description": "Inclusive, after truncation to seconds; not a whole-day shortcut." }, "page": { "type": "integer" }, "limit": { "type": "integer" }, "start": { "type": "string", "description": "ISO-8601 instant with Z or an explicit UTC offset." }, "exchange": { "enum": [ "deribit", "okx", "binance", "bybit", "paradex" ], "type": "string" }, "projection": { "enum": [ "full", "iv", "price", "underlying_price", "oi_volume" ], "type": "string" }, "resolution": { "enum": [ "native", "1m", "5m", "15m", "30m", "1h", "2h", "4h", "6h", "12h", "1d" ], "type": "string", "description": "UTC observation grid, not candle aggregation." }, "instrument_name": { "type": "string" } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "required": [ "dataset_id", "projection", "meta", "items" ], "properties": { "meta": { "type": "object", "required": [ "total", "items", "page", "total_pages", "limit", "availability" ], "properties": { "page": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "minimum": 0, "description": "One-based page number.", "exclusiveMinimum": true }, "items": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "minimum": 0, "description": "Number of rows actually returned on this page." }, "limit": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "minimum": 0, "exclusiveMinimum": true }, "total": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "minimum": 0, "description": "Total matching source rows for this window, not this page; instrument rows may share a timestamp." }, "total_pages": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 9007199254740991, "minimum": 0, "description": "Declared page count.
