QuantConnect uploads many example strategies for situations like these! Below is a GitHub link to one such options strategy. The folder Algorithm.Python contains a few strategies as well. These should help you get started. QuantConnect also provides tutorials, like this, to help understand the API.

Hi dupont, sorry about the wait.
All the algorithms in the open-source project work, since they are part of the test battery we run before every new patch is added. I have attached one example.
If you find an example that "doesn't work", Please share an algorithm (use the attach backtest button below) that shows the issue you are experiencing. This procedure helps us, the community, to answer your questions quickly and effectively.
