VRP by expiration API endpoint, Implied volatility

The answer, in one call

Units first,
then the request.

iv, hv and vrp are annualised percentage points; vrp_pct is the premium as a percentage of realized.

Per-expiration IV is the ATM chain IV; realized is matched to the days to that expiration.
