Is there a field that can be subscribed to that returns a piece of data indicating whether a symbol is a call or a put?

The symbol should tell you if it is a put or call. For future options, you will have a P or C before the strike price in the symbol. For index/equity options, you will have a letter code before the strike price that indicates both if it is a put or call as well as what is the expiry month. For a complete list of letter codes for index/equity options, see the following page of our symbol guide:
