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. Its market data business, built on the 2021 acquisition of ACTIV Financial, sells low-latency raw and normalized exchange feeds delivered over colocated multicast and TCP, real-time streaming into AWS, GCP, and Azure, tickerplant snapshot and time-series services, and lossless data capture with raw .pcap files. 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.
