Is there somewhere in the API you can find the Initial and Mantenance Margin requirements for a spicific symbol?

You can get margins only for open positions - see OEC.API.Position.InitialMargin, OEC.API.Position.MaintenanceMargin

How is someone going to know if they could place a trade on this contract with out knowing the initial margin requirements?

most people will want to know what that is before they ever place a trade, right?

We will include this functionality in the next API release.
