Options contract trades

Every trade of one contract in a time range.
GET/v1/options/contract/tradesoptionsContractTrades
On this page

Trade prints of one contract, oldest first, paginated on (timestamp, sequence) with cursor_id. Select an explicit range with start_time and end_time (at most 31 days) or one trading date with date; the default is the latest regular session. The session parameter selects the regular session (rth), the overnight session (gth) or both (all); an overnight session ends on the morning of its trading date and starts the evening before. Prices are dollars per contract; each print is one row.
