The modeled dealer exposure of each listed expiration for calls, puts and net, with the open interest, the roots that contribute and the totals. An SPX third-Friday expiration combines the SPX and SPXW roots. Dealer positioning is a model, not observed: with classic_oi the dealer is assumed long the calls and short the puts of the open interest, with flow_adjusted the classified prints since the open interest date adjust it. Public open interest does not identify who holds a position, so the values are estimates of exposure under that assumption.

Example request

curl -sS --get "https://api.ordermap.si/v1/options/exposure/by-expiration" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORDERMAP_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode underlying_symbol=SPXW

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  underlying_symbol: "SPXW",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ordermap.si/v1/options/exposure/by-expiration?${params}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ORDERMAP_API_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.coverage);

Set ORDERMAP_API_KEY to your key. Replace the dates with a recent trading date.
