## What it is

DataShop is Cboe's data storefront, not a subscription API. You pick one of fifty-five
datasets, a date range and a symbol list, the cart prices that exact order, and a CSV file lands
on an SFTP folder overnight. The draw is the options history: every series disseminated over
OPRA on US stocks, ETFs and indices back to January 2012, with implied volatility and Greeks
sold as an add-on. The Cboe All Access REST API is sold alongside the files and is the only
live path.

## Pricing

No price is printed anywhere until you configure an order. These were priced in the cart on
13 September 2026.

Full-market Option EOD Summary is $50 a trading day, but the total caps at $300 for any one
calendar month — the same as the monthly subscription — so the sixth day you buy in a month is
the last one you pay for. A calendar year is $1,500, the entire 2012-to-date archive $7,200.
Option Trades runs $132 a day or $1,000 a month; 1-minute Option Quotes for the full market is
$740 for a day.

No free tier. Each product offers one free sample file, and the All Access API has a 14-day
trial capped at 500 points a day.

## Data & coverage

US options are OPRA-disseminated listings only: options on futures and non-US options are not
covered at any price. Beyond them the shop carries US equities, CFE futures, Cboe Europe
(BXE/CXE/DXE), Cboe Canada, Cboe Australia, Cboe FX and index tick channels.

Files are next-day; intraday interval files are delayed 15 minutes. Real-time OPRA,
CTA/UTP or index prices mean the All Access API plus your own SIP subscription at professional
rates, billed by the SIP and not by Cboe; option midpoints and implied underlying prices are
included in the API subscription itself.

## Integrations

SFTP, browser download, and Snowflake for the 1-minute Open-Close intervals. No client library,
no webhooks.

## Limitations

- Internal use by default, and redistribution only where a dataset offers the option in the
  cart — which the options datasets do not. Where it is offered it is display-only.
- Index underlying bid/ask covers ^SPX and ^OEX only, and only for holders of a Cboe Global
  Indices Feed licence, which starts at $1,000 a month.
- Greeks and IV are a priced add-on on almost every options dataset, not a bundled field.
- No streaming, and an order you configure wrong is an order you paid for.

## Alternatives

For options history, [ORATS](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/orats) and [Nasdaq Data Link](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/nasdaq-data-link) sell overlapping datasets and OptionMetrics is
the academic standard. For a developer API rather than a per-file store, see the
[market data APIs](https://stockmarketstack.com/categories/market-data-apis).

## FAQ

### What does a day of Cboe DataShop options data cost?

Priced in the cart on 13 September 2026, one trading day of the full US options market costs $50 for the EOD Summary, $132 for Option Trades and $740 for 1-minute Option Quotes. A single underlying for one day of the EOD Summary is $6.

### Can I redistribute Cboe DataShop data in my own product?

Not the options datasets. The DataShop licence grants internal use only unless the order says otherwise, and it permits redistribution solely where a dataset offers that option on DataShop — then for display only, with no right to transfer the data or to pass the redistribution right on. Option EOD Summary and Option Trades carry no external-distribution control at all, and Option Quotes carries one locked at "No". The All Access API is the exception — it sells a separate redistribution licence covering its non-SIP data, priced by sales.

### Is DataShop a flat-file download or an API?

Mostly flat files. Orders arrive as CSV over SFTP or browser download, overnight for the previous trading day, and are removed from your SFTP folder after 30 days. The separate Cboe All Access REST API is the only live path; its SIP-liable fields require your own OPRA, CTA/UTP or CSMI subscription, though option midpoints and implied underlying prices come with the API subscription.

### How far back does the options history go?

January 2012 for the EOD Summary, Option Trades and Option Quotes. The Open-Close Volume Summary reaches further, to January 2005 for C1, and the equity EOD Summary starts in January 2010.
