Options Technology

Options Technology (Options IT) is a capital markets managed services and trading infrastructure provider founded in 1993, backed by private equity firm Abry Partners since 2019, serving over 550 firms globally.

The commercial relationship is sales-gated and entitlement-managed, but the ACTIV Web One API - a WebSocket plus WebAssembly JavaScript API distributed via npm - has genuinely public developer documentation, tutorials, and an in-browser playground at weboneapi.activfinancial.com.

Options Technology publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Financial, Market Data, Real-Time, Streaming, and Trading Infrastructure.

Options Technology’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, support, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.
