What’s the source for Option Chain Data for stocks listed on Nasdaq? Is it Nasdaq itself or OPRA (Option Price Reporting Agency)?


24h ago I noticed that the Option Chain Data for a single stock is 'unavailable' @ Nasdaq. The data is available for every stock I checked except BBBY. My intention here isn’t a discussion about said stock/company .. what I’m trying to understand is if Nasdaq is the source for that information and if that implies that the option data on (for example) Yahoo Finance isn’t updated until the data is available again.

Here is a Link to Nasdaq's API (Documentation is linked at the bottom). I’m not familiar with APIs in detail so I have a hard time figuring out what kind of data it is able to provide and if the option data is part of it.
If someone here has API Skills and would be interested in that issue I’d love to know if a) you can access said data via the API or b) what kind of error/exception the API throws at you when you try to do so?

or, of course, c) if Nasdaq isn’t even the source/originator for the option chain data.

Have a great Sunday y'all! ️
