plot IV for a specific option

Hello I'm new here!
I am trying to create a ThinkScript that would allow me to chart the IV over time of a specific options contract that I'm trading. You can of course see the current IV of each contract looking at the options chain, but I'm hoping to see it plotted as a line study below my chart of the underlying, so I can visually see its fluctuation over time.
I'm able to plot the overall IV of the underlying as you see here (the bottom study):

But, I'm hoping to input a specific options contract, using the code for that contract (example: .SPY241028C574)
If anybody could point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated!
 
Solution
Thinkorswim does not provide direct access to option chain data through ThinkScript. This limitation means you can’t programmatically retrieve or manipulate the full option chain or related data (like open interest, implied volatility, delta, or other Greeks) within a ThinkScript indicator or strategy.
