I just entered Quantconnect I got some Python notebooks to work (I am proficient in Python). One of the reasons to choose for Quantconnect was the availability of data. But for some reason this seems limited. If I take a look at the Data overview I can only find US stocks but no European markets. I am interested in options and succeeded in loading a subset, but this seems to be limited to options in a small range of the strike price versus the actual prices. This data is very detailed with prices every minute. Isn't it possible to request option data with a longer interval of time?

Hi Steven, Welcome to QuantConnect! We have more data than any platform in the world, but there's always room to improve =). We'll hopefully add international markets this year but it's not just a data problem there are modeling challenges we'll be addressing. We're excited to add international markets.
"Isn't it possible to request option data with a longer interval of time?" - We have the real price data from the exchanges, and you can ask for whatever interval you want but it will just slow down your backtest. There is about 40TB of options data and backtesting that level of data can be quite slow. We'll keep working at it!
I recommend checking out boot camp to get started. It should get you up to speed with the QuantConnect API.
