API keys
API keys let you call Optionomics from your own systems — backtests, dashboards, internal alerts.
Where to find them
Open Account → API tokens. You'll see your existing keys, an option to create a new one, and the ability to revoke any key.
What you can do with the API
- Pull flow, UOA, and stock-level analytics in JSON.
- Subscribe to Trade Ideas and Market Commentary.
- Manage alerts and watchlists programmatically.
The full schema lives at `/docs/api`. The MCP server adds a turn-key integration for any LLM client that speaks Model Context Protocol.
Security
Treat API keys like passwords:
- Never commit them to source control.
- Rotate them when you suspect leakage.
- Revoke a key the moment you no longer need it.
