Is there any way I can get access to weekly options in a notebook?
The only way to have access to weekly options, that I know of, is that of using a Universe Selection Function. Unfortunately, I know no way to use a Universe Selection Function in a notebook: the examples provided only uses SetFilter().
Using a Universe Selection Function in a notebook would be very useful.
Many thanks!

Hi Joseph Cohen Bacchilega, we would expect that what you did would work or:
class MyQuantBook(QuantBook): def UniverseFunc(self, universe): return universe.IncludeWeeklys().Strikes(-2, 2).Expiration(timedelta(0), timedelta(365*2)) qb = MyQuantBook() spy = qb.AddOption("GOOG") spy.SetFilter(qb.UniverseFunc)but neither works and throw the same exception that doesn't give us much information.
We are going to look into it. Thank you for the report.

Hi All,
We haven't resolved this yet but there is an issue open on GitHub which you can track here. Keep an eye on it for progress updates and we'll keep the community informed once we find a solution.
Frontline
Edit: solved
qb = QuantBook()
qb.AddEquity('GOOG', Resolution.Minute)
goog = qb.AddOption('GOOG')
def UniverseFunc(universe):
   return universe.IncludeWeeklys().Strikes(-2, 2).Expiration(timedelta(0), timedelta(60))
goog.SetFilter(UniverseFunc)
option_history = qb.GetOptionHistory(goog.Symbol, datetime(2017, 1, 4))
print(option_history.GetStrikes())
print(option_history.GetExpiryDates())
h = option_history.GetAllData()
