The Volatility Box API

Pull the daily and weekly volatility zones, Edge Signal state, and edge test outcomes straight into your code. Built for systematic traders and teams who want the volatility edge as structured data instead of a chart to read by eye.

What the API returns

  • Volatility zones. The daily and weekly zones for each supported symbol, with the boundaries your system needs to place a level.
  • Edge Signal state. Whether the Edge Signal is active on a symbol, on which side, and when it last changed.
  • Blind breach vs at the edge. Which zone tests arrived blind and which arrived at the edge, so you can separate the two in research.
  • Symbol coverage. The supported futures and stock universe, queryable so your job knows what it can ask for.
  • Webhooks. A push when a zone is breached or the Edge Signal turns, so a bot reacts without polling.

Questions

What is the Volatility Box API?

It is the developer interface to Volatility Box. A REST API and webhooks that expose the engine output as structured data, so you can research and trade programmatically.

Does it work with Claude and OpenAI?

Yes. Responses carry structured fields and a plain language summary, so agents can consume them directly. An MCP server is planned for early access.

Do I get the logic behind the signals?

No. The API returns the output of the engine, not the rules that produce it, so you can build on the signals without the method being exposed.

How is it priced?

It is a paid product with tiers for individual traders and for teams building on the data. Join the list for pricing and early access details.
