From the API documentation it looks like I can get access to options for a particular contract from the OEC::API::Contract::Options field.

I attempted to access the options for ESU3. The HasOptions field is set to true, but there are options (ie Options field has a count of 0).

Is there something that I need to do to have the Options field populated?

I tried using the OECClient::RequestContracts method, but this still did not populate the Options field.

Hello. It requires the next trick:
1. Request a symbol lookup with ParentContract option:


criteria.DesiredResultCount = 1;
criteria.SearchText = "*";
criteria.ParentContract = Underlying;


2. In symbol lookup's response you will get a couple options related to ESU3. Now you can obtain their base contracts and call RequestContracts(...) for each of them.


var res = new List<BaseContract>();
foreach (Contract contract in Underlying.Options)
if (!res.Contains(contract.BaseContract))
{
res.Add(contract.BaseContract);
OECClient.Global.RequestContracts(contract.BaseContract);
}
