# Introduction
The ORATS API is organized around REST. Our API is designed to have predictable, resource-oriented URLs and to use HTTP response codes to indicate API success and errors. You can use our API to access options data in our database.
REQUEST LIMIT
There is a 1000 request per minute limit for the data API.
# Authentication
All requests must be sent with a valid token
parameter in the URL with your secret token.
Get your API token here (opens new window).
If you need help with your token, email us at support@orats.com.
