Overview

Required: ticker, greekMode, representationMode

Three fields are required.

  • filter.ticker: the single ticker to aggregate over.
  • greekMode: which Greek drives the exposure value. One of CHARM, DELTA, GAMMA, VANNA.
  • representationMode: the scale. One of PER_ONE_DOLLAR_MOVE, PER_ONE_PERCENT_MOVE, RAW.

Selecting the snapshot

Exposure By Strike supports two ways to pin the snapshot: sessionDate for the latest snapshot of a given session, or snapshotTime for a specific instant. The two are mutually exclusive; if both are omitted, the latest snapshot of the current session is returned.

Response shape

data is keyed by ticker. Each ticker entry has an exposureMap that walks expiration date -> strike (dollars) -> { callExposure?, putExposure? }, plus the underlying stockPrice.

        }
      },
      "stockPrice": 218.45
    }
  }
}

Both callExposure and putExposure are nullable per cell: if a leg has no exposure at the strike, the field is omitted entirely. Sign convention follows the requested Greek: long calls and short puts contribute positive DELTA; short calls and long puts contribute negative.

Filters

Convenience filter fields: ticker (required), expirationDates, expirationDateRange, strikePrices, strikePriceRange, moneyTypes. The filterExpression DSL is also accepted and can be combined with filter; both are evaluated as AND.

See Field Reference for the type and allowed values of every filterable field, and Filter Expression for the full DSL grammar.
