    ## Changelog


    # 2026.09.28

    - The websocket documentation moved to
    [https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket),
    with one page per channel. REST endpoints that serve the same data as a
    websocket channel link to that channel's page.


    # 2026.09.21

    - Added a new websocket channel
    [`stock_screener`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/stock-screener).
    It streams the latest stock screener row of every ticker and is the live
    counterpart of
    [`/screener/stocks`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.ScreenerController.stock_screener).


    # 2026.09.12

    - Added a new websocket channel
    [`ta_1d_live:{TICKER}`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/technical-analysis-indicators).
    The channel streams technical-analysis indicator values (moving averages,
    RSI, MACD, Bollinger bands, ADX, Aroon, ATR, CCI, MFI, OBV, stochastics and
    Williams %R) computed on daily candles for one ticker. During regular
    trading hours it resends the day that is still forming as the price moves,
    so the newest message for a `date` replaces the ones before it. An indicator
    reads as `null` until enough daily history exists to compute it. The `1d` in
    the name is the candle interval and `live` means the values track the open
    session.


    # 2026.09.04

    - Added new websocket channels [`quotes` and
    `quotes:{TICKER}`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/stock-quotes).
    They stream the live best bid and ask - for every ticker at once, or for a
    single ticker - and are the live counterpart of
    [`/stock/:ticker/quote`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.StockQuoteController.show).


    # 2026.09.01

    - Added a global
    [`greeks`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/greeks) websocket
    channel. It streams the same per-contract option greeks as
    `greeks:<TICKER>`, but for every underlying at once. This is a high volume
    firehose - prefer the per-ticker channel unless you need the full tape.


    # 2026.08.30

    - MCP now advertises build guidance: `instructions` on initialize; builder
    prompts `build_dashboard_app`, `build_confluence_alert`,
    `build_trading_bot`, `build_data_stream`, `start_from_example`, and
    `setup_api_project`; tools `get_build_recipe` and `get_api_examples`
    (scripts from
    [https://github.com/unusual-whales/api-examples](https://github.com/unusual-whales/api-examples));
    and `resources/list` / `resources/templates/list` / `resources/read` for
    playbooks and example files.


    # 2026.08.28

    - Added a new websocket channel
    [`risk_reversal_skew`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/risk-reversal-skew).
    The channel streams live 25- and 10-delta risk reversal skew (put implied
    volatility minus call implied volatility) per expiry across every ticker,
    the live counterpart of
    [`/stock/:ticker/historical-risk-reversal-skew`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.TickerController.historical_risk_reversal_skew).
    The channel is global only; there is no per-ticker variant.


    # 2026.08.22

    - Updated
    [`/stock/:ticker/gex-levels`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.TickerController.gex_levels)
    to derive its levels from directionalized volume instead of a cumulative
    total over the static open-interest snapshot.

    - Added `date`, `time`, `source`, and `nearby_flips` to the
    [`/stock/:ticker/gex-levels`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.TickerController.gex_levels)
    response. `nearby_flips` lists the five zero-gamma crossings nearest spot,
    ordered by distance from it. `time` is when the underlying exposure snapshot
    was calculated.


    # 2026.08.21

    - Added new websocket channels [`interpolated_iv` and
    `interpolated_iv:TICKER`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/interpolated-iv).
    The channels stream interpolated implied volatility and expected moves at
    fixed horizons (1-365 trading days), the live counterpart of
    [`/stock/:ticker/interpolated-iv`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.TickerController.interpolated_iv).

    - Added new websocket channels [`iv_term_structure` and
    `iv_term_structure:TICKER`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/websocket/iv-term-structure).
    The channels stream ATM implied volatility and expected moves per real
    option expiry — the raw entries behind `interpolated_iv` — the live
    counterpart of
    [`/stock/:ticker/volatility/term-structure`](https://api.unusualwhales.com/docs/operations/PublicApi.TickerController.implied_volatility_term_structure).


    # 2026.04.30

    Advanced, Enterprise Startup, Enterprise Startup + Kafka, or Enterprise
