Given a stock name, is there a way to get a list of options of that stock?

There is no way to get a list of options by stock name. You would need to know the underlying equity symbol. You can get equity option symbols by using the API option chain lookup request, or by using the symbol lookup on our website. On the website, if you enter MSFT into the search string, search by name/description and choose OPRA in the exchange pull down list you will get the list back. You can select the checkbox "Output Symbols Only (for cut/paste) " which will output only the symbols so you can cut/paste them into an application.

for method 1 you mentioned, is the return a list of option symbols?
for method 2, if there is a corporate action, and some option symbols change to non-standard, will the list contains those non standard ones? |
