Implied volatility API, GET /hv-regimes/{ticker}

What realized-vol regime is NVDA in, and are the short windows above or below the long ones?

Historical volatility across windows, its term structure and the regime crossovers. Returns close-to-close realized vol at 5 to 252 day windows as a time series, the HV term structure with the vendor's alternative estimator, and a forecast block. Other views return the signals, the decomposition, or an ex-earnings series.

The answer, in one call

Units first,
then the request.

All volatilities are annualised percentage points.

cls_hv is close-to-close; or_hv is the data feed's intraday-range estimator. view=ex_earnings recomputes the 30-day tenor from daily closes with earnings reaction sessions dropped.

Parameters

Bounded,
and the bounds are stated.

Out-of-range numbers are clamped to the documented range, never silently changed to something else. A missing required field returns 400 with the reason.

Access, limits, errors

Before the
first call.

Plan

Limits
60 requests a minute and 1,000 an hour per token, plus a monthly allowance by plan. Every response carries the remaining counts in X-RateLimit-* headers; a 429 carries Retry-After in seconds.
Errors
401 no or revoked token; 429 Retry-After seconds; 403 Premium plan required; 424 data feed unavailable, retry. The full list with payload shapes is on the errors page.
Since
API 1.0. Units, bases and timestamps follow the conventions shared by every endpoint; changes are logged in the API changelog.
