Implied volatility API, GET /vrp/{ticker}/timeseries
How has the gap between NVDA's implied and realized vol moved over the last few months?
Daily IV, realized vol and their difference through time. One row per trading day with the 30-day IV, the realized vol over hv_period and the premium, plus a current block, so the premium can be charted or fed to a model.
The answer, in one call
Units first,
then the request.
All values are annualised percentage points (iv_units).
Same bases as /vrp: iv_basis and hv_basis are returned with the series.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer avmcp_YOUR_TOKEN" \

import requests
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer avmcp_YOUR_TOKEN"}
params = {"lookback_days": "60"}
r = requests.get("https://apexvol.com/api/mcp/data/vrp/NVDA/timeseries", headers=headers, params=params)
r.raise_for_status()
data = r.json()["data"]
print(data["current"])
