Indicative feed returning live data

I have the AlgoTrader Plus subscription and would like to access 15-minute delayed stock and option quotes. For stocks, I can use the HTTP Get Latest Quote endpoint and set the feed to “delayed_sip” and I get 15-minute delayed quotes, as expected. However, for options, whether I’m using the HTTP Get Latest Quote endpoint or WebSocket streaming, even when I set the feed to “indicative” I still get real-time quotes.

Is it possible to subscribe to 15-minute delayed option quotes even with a AlgoTrader Plus subscription? Or does the subscription override the choice of “indicative” feed?

Hi :waving_hand: Alpaca doesn’t provide delayed option quotes. The indicative option quotes are not delayed, but adjusted. Unfortunately, if you need 15 minute delayed quotes, you will need to store them for yourself from the live stream.

Got it, thank you! I believe paper trading uses real-time quotes anyway, so I’ll just stick with real-time for all purposes.
