Options market summary
POST /api/options-summaryOne-call options market summary for a currency on Deribit: index price, the DVOL implied-volatility index, call and put open interest with put/call ratio, total open interest in coins and USD, 24h volume, per-expiry open interest and volume, the top instruments by open interest, and the perpetual's mark, funding and open interest. Send POST /api/options-summary with no required fields (1 optional) and pay $0.005 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with source, currency, indexPrice, dvol, options and 2 more.
BTC and ETH carry the deep books; other currencies return whatever Deribit lists. Keyless public data.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
currency | string | no | BTC (default), ETH, or another Deribit currency code. |
Example request
curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/options-summary \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"currency":"BTC"}'
Without payment this returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with the exact price for options-summary; any x402 v2 or MPP client pays it and retries.

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for options-summary; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.
Errors and behavior
- Every field is optional. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carries
error,tool,expected,requiredandexample. - A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
- Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key (
Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it. - A
GETorHEADto /api/options-summary returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body. - An
Idempotency-Keyheader makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).
