API & Data Licensing

VannaCharm is an options analytics platform for exploring gamma, vanna, charm, and related dealer exposure estimates through dashboards and available APIs. Choose a plan based on how you use the data and who can access it.

Which plan do I need?

Example: I want a personal Python notebook, trading bot, or custom chart

Plan: Premium

Personal analysis and reasonable research storage; automation is allowed.

Example: I want an internal quant platform or continuously populated research database

Plan: Business API

VannaCharm serves as internal data infrastructure, including for a solo operator.

Example: I want a customer-facing SaaS dashboard, subscriber analytics, or paid group

Plan: Commercial

Third parties receive derived analytics under an agreed license.

Example: I want to resell strike-level records, an equivalent data API, or white-label distribution

Plan: Separate data license

Raw redistribution and OEM rights are negotiated separately.

Personal use and platform use

Individual plans are for one person’s own trading and research. Premium includes personal API workflows: notebooks, scripts, trading bots, custom charts, and storage reasonably needed for that research. Automation alone does not require Business.

Systematically collecting records to reconstruct a substitute VannaCharm dataset or maintain a platform data warehouse requires Business, even for a solo researcher. Saving data for a particular personal analysis is different from continuously building a replacement historical or live database.

Independent derived analytics

Independent derived analytics cannot reasonably be used to reconstruct or substitute for VannaCharm data. Renaming fields, changing formats, rescaling values, or repackaging strike-level records does not turn the underlying dataset into unrestricted derived data.

Raw-data redistribution, white-label, or OEM?

Reselling raw data, exposing substantially equivalent datasets through an API, sublicensing, and white-label or OEM distribution require a separate written data license. Commercial does not automatically include these rights. Contact us about data licensing.

Business and Commercial are arranged directly with us and activated under a written agreement. Sending an inquiry does not activate a license or start billing. Prices are in USD; applicable taxes and any separately required third-party permissions are confirmed before purchase.

Licensing expands permitted use of available data. Before purchase, we confirm supported data, historical availability, operating limits, authorized users, billing, and activation in writing. These plans do not automatically add endpoints, higher rate limits, user seats, every expiration, complete history, guaranteed point-in-time integrity, or an uptime commitment.

Common licensing questions

Does a personal script or trading bot require Business?

When does storing data require Business?

Does a lifetime purchase include business data rights?

Starter and Premium lifetime options remain available for a one-time payment. For new purchases, lifetime or Trader Bundle access provides individual product access; it does not include Business, Commercial, redistribution, or OEM rights. Business and Commercial have no lifetime offer.

Does Business include more endpoints or guaranteed historical coverage?

Can I share a screenshot?

Individuals may share occasional attributed, noncommercial screenshots or small excerpts for discussion. This does not permit recurring data feeds, reconstructable datasets, paid groups, or customer-facing products. Those uses require the appropriate written license.

What happens to stored Business data after cancellation?

When a Business license expires or terminates, ingestion and operational use stop. Underlying stored data must be deleted within 30 days, except records required by law. Independent, non-reconstructive research results may be retained; required legal records may not be used operationally.
