Crypto Options Gamma Exposure (GEX) API
Where option-dealer hedging flows concentrate, and whether they damp or amplify price moves — computed live from Deribit's public option book, no key, nothing stored. Each open option carries gamma; when dealers are net long gamma they hedge against the move (buy dips, sell rips) and volatility is suppressed, and when they are net short gamma they hedge with the move and volatility is amplified. The gex endpoint aggregates Black-Scholes gamma across every listed expiry, weighted by open interest, into the net dealer gamma exposure (in dollars per 1% move), the call and put gamma split, the zero-gamma flip level — the spot price at which net GEX crosses zero, the boundary between the mean-reverting (positive-gamma) and trending (negative-gamma) regimes — where spot sits relative to it, and the strikes holding the most gamma (the pinning magnets and acceleration zones). The profile endpoint returns GEX by strike, across all expiries or one. The expiries endpoint returns net GEX per listed expiry. This is the dealer-gamma / GEX analytics cut for crypto — distinct from the max-pain / open-interest positioning view, the implied-vol skew surface, the raw option chain and the single-option Black-Scholes pricer in the catalogue. GEX uses the SpotGamma convention (dealers long calls / short puts, r=0) and Black-Scholes gamma from mark IV — a model estimate of positioning, documented as such, not exchange-reported dealer inventory. Currency is BTC, ETH, SOL or XRP.
