The Options Price Reporting Authority (OPRA) disseminates consolidated last sale and quotation information originating from the national securities exchanges that have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide markets for the listing and trading of exchange-traded securities options.
OPRA was established in 1975 following the Securities Acts Amendments, which aimed to enhance transparency and competition in the options market.
ICE provides data on all regional markets, including composite BBO and trade data over the regional datasets via ICE Consolidated Feed and History.

Key Features
For clients looking to access normalized data the ICE Consolidated Feed provides functionality that allows for seamless application programming, using proprietary symbology that is easy to consume, human-readable and based on exchange tickers. Reference data fields are presented in a consistent format with popular fields such as Instrument Types, Marketplace Codes and Instrument Names available in both ICE proprietary and native exchange format. Additional third-party identifiers, such as CUSIP & ISIN are also available (note that some may require separate licensing).
Covering both individual instrument status (normal/halted/suspended) and market phase (auction/continuous/etc.), the ICE Consolidated Feed presents status as a globally consistent set of values, while also maintaining a separate set of fields with the native exchange presentation. Including both native exchange timestamps in their original time zone and granularity, and ICE system timestamps in UTC, gives clients flexibility and choice, that carries through to the tick-by-tick files provided by ICE Consolidated History.
- Quality of service: This data set provides high-quality, real-time market data with minimal latency, or comprehensive end-of-day summaries essential for daily analysis and reporting.
- Feed type: OPRA (Options Price Reporting Authority)data is available in native format or normalized via the ICE Consolidated Feed
- Normalization: Data is provided with ICE proprietary symbology, UTC timestamps, and globally consistent normalized values for critical fields such as instrument status, alongside native exchange values, for seamless application programming
