To Follow up in regards to post 2.

I am wondering if you support subscribing to delayed market data in interactive brokers:
https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/delayed_data.html

Reason being I presently using a paper trading account. Don't want to fund account until I am done working on stuff.

The message I get when subscribing

Symbol:
SPY-OPT-20181221-264-C-SMART-100-USD

Message log:
Message from IB: Historical Market Data Service error message:No market data permissions for AMEX OPT. IB Error Code: 162. Request ID: 200043. | 2018-11-21 20:47:03

Indicating it is trying to subscribe to real market data.

At a minimum I need a way of verifying if the symbols were at least validated correctly by IB, so that I can debug the options chain object. Would the above error message indicate that IB definately recognized the symbol but denied the data subscription?
