Historical optionable universe: point-in-time snapshots of which US equities had

Historical optionable universe: point-in-time snapshots of which US equities had listed options on each snapshot date, with the average number of days between listed expirations (avg_days_between -- lower means a denser expiration calendar) and a has_weeklies flag. Essential for honest options backtests: it tells you what was actually tradable then, not what is optionable today.

Filter by snapshot date range; omit filters for the most recent snapshots first. Pagination: results are capped at 50,000 rows per request; when the response has has_more=true, pass next_cursor's date and ticker back as cursor_date and cursor_ticker to fetch the next page.

Requires an Alphanume Pro API key. A 403 PRO_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED or DATE_RANGE_RESTRICTED error means the key's plan does not cover the request -- it does not mean the data is missing.
