# Api V2 Levels Symbol Get

`GET /api/v2/levels/{symbol}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.zerogex.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.zerogex.io/api/v2/levels/{symbol}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Consolidated dealer-positioning levels for one underlying.

Returns the latest gamma flip, call/put walls and max pain, plus the
per-strike gamma profile nearest to spot — the derived, redistributable
primitives a charting integration draws as horizontal lines and a
histogram.  ``404`` when no snapshot exists for ``symbol`` yet, or when
``expiration`` names one the chain does not list (or that has expired).

## Path parameters

- `symbol` string, required: Underlying symbol, e.g. SPY, SPX, QQQ.

## Query parameters

- `strikes` integer: Number of strikes nearest to spot to include in the gamma profile (aggregated across expirations, or within the one ``expiration`` selects).
- `expiration` string: 'all' (default) for the whole chain; '0dte' for the nearest expiration that has not yet settled (today's until 16:00 ET, then the next one listed); or one expiration as YYYY-MM-DD. A scoped request recomputes the walls, flip, max pain and profile from that expiration alone; the Pin Strike is 0DTE by construction and is not scoped.

  - `data` SrcApiRoutersLevelsLevelsResponse, required
    - `symbol` string, required
    - `spot` number, nullable
    - `as_of` string, date-time, required
    - `age_seconds` integer, nullable
    - `computed_at` string, date-time, nullable
    - `data_as_of` string, date-time, nullable
    - `net_gex_at_spot` number, nullable
    - `expiration` string, date, nullable
    - `levels` DealerLevels, required: The four headline horizontal levels. Any field may be ``null`` when the analytics engine could not resolve it for the latest snapshot (e.g. an unresolved gamma flip on a thin chain) — consumers should hide, not zero, a null level.
      - `gamma_flip` number, nullable
      - `gamma_flip_reason` string, nullable
      - `gamma_flip_label` string, nullable
      - `call_wall` number, nullable
      - `put_wall` number, nullable
      - `max_pain` number, nullable
      - `pin_strike` number, nullable
    - `pin_score` number, nullable

      - `strike` number, required
      - `net_gex` number, required
      - `call_gex` number, required
      - `put_gex` number, required
  - `freshness` Freshness, required: The v2 freshness envelope. Present on every ``/api/v2/*`` response.
    - `evaluated_at` string, date-time, required: When the API evaluated this response (server wall clock, UTC). Endpoint-health signal: advances on every request even when the underlying data is unchanged.
    - `generated_at` string, date-time, required: When the served data was computed. Equals the snapshot stamp for cycle-backed endpoints, or evaluated_at for endpoints computed on demand for this request.
    - `source_timestamp` string, date-time, nullable: Timestamp of the upstream market observation the payload derives from. This is what freshness_status is measured against. Null when the endpoint has no upstream feed or returned no rows.
    - `latest_event_at` string, date-time, nullable: Newest event timestamp present in the payload (last bar, last trade, last scored row). Best-effort on very large responses, which are sampled rather than fully walked.
    - `age_seconds` number, nullable: evaluated_at - source_timestamp, in seconds. Null when source_timestamp is null.
    - `market_session_status` string, required: pre-market | regular | after-hours | closed (US/Eastern).
    - `expected_update_cadence` string, nullable: ISO-8601 duration for how often this endpoint's data is expected to change right now, e.g. PT60S. Null means no updates are expected (weekend, holiday, or a feed that only runs during the session).
    - `expected_update_cadence_seconds` number, nullable: expected_update_cadence as a number of seconds.
    - `cadence_profile` string, required: Identifier of the cadence class this endpoint belongs to, e.g. analytics_cycle. Stable across releases; the seconds behind it may be retuned.
    - `stale_after` string, date-time, nullable: Instant after which this payload should be treated as stale. Null whenever expected_update_cadence is null.
    - `freshness_status` 'fresh' | 'aging' | 'stale' | 'session_closed' | 'static' | 'unknown', required: The rolled-up freshness verdict for one response. ``fresh`` ``source_timestamp`` is within one expected update cadence. ``aging`` Past one cadence but not yet past ``stale_after`` — the grace band that absorbs normal cycle jitter. Not an error; a client that polls faster than the cadence sees this routinely. ``stale`` Past ``stale_after`` while updates *were* expected. This is the actionable state: the feed behind this endpoint is late. ``session_closed`` A feed-backed endpoint whose feed is not due to produce anything right now (weekend, holiday, or a feed that only runs during the session). The payload is the last good value — deliberately NOT reported as ``stale``, because an overnight consumer polling a closed market is not observing a fault and should not page on it. ``static`` The endpoint is not feed-backed at all: completed history, or a result computed from the caller's own inputs. Age here carries no health meaning and never becomes a fault. ``unknown`` No source timestamp could be resolved from the payload (e.g. a pure calculator, an admin endpoint, or an empty result set). A consumer should fall back to ``evaluated_at`` for endpoint health and make no claim about data age.
