Hi,
How do I use a script/api/record-keys/etc. to automatically export, current, options chains data for all strikes for stocks in my watchlist?
For example, I know how to export options manually by using the menus. I'd like to initiate an automated way to export options chains into a .CSV file. Is ThinkScript the way to go? (how?). Is keystroke recording the better option? Or an API?
I don't need a link to real-time updates. Simply a .CSV snapshot of current options data for a particular stock.
Ideally, I'd like the automated method to export an individual file for each stock in a watchlist.
I appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction.
