# Option contract snapshot

Returns a **single** options contract snapshot: break-even level, day stats, contract details, Greeks, implied volatility, open interest, latest quote and trade when your plan includes them, and underlying context. Use it to evaluate one leg, compare risk, or feed models without pulling the full chain.

## Endpoint

```
GET /v1/options/snapshot/{underlying}/{option_contract}
```

### Path parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `underlying` | string | Yes | Underlying equity symbol (for example `NFLX`). Must match the root symbol of the option ticker. |
| `option_contract` | string | Yes | Full OCC-style options ticker (for example `O:NFLX260410C00060000`). It must belong to `underlying`. In URLs, encode `:` as `%3A` if your client requires it. If the contract is unknown or delisted, the API returns **404**. |

### Query parameters

None. The path identifies the underlying and the option contract.

### Expired and same-week contracts

This endpoint is a **current listed-contract snapshot**. Same-week contracts work while they are still listed and available from the upstream snapshot feed. After expiration, delisting, or when the current snapshot feed no longer carries the contract, the endpoint can return **404** even if historical reference data still exists.

For expired-contract reference lookup, use `GET /v1/options/contracts/{options_ticker}/?as_of=YYYY-MM-DD`. For prior bid/ask marks, use `GET /v1/options/quotes/{options_ticker}/` with explicit timestamp filters around the trading session you want to reconstruct.
