- Are there any free sources for historical implied volatility data for options?
- Are there any plans to create a data provider, or modifying an existing one, that will download this data?
[Another option would be downloading option prices directly but considering the large number of strikes and the confusing option symbology, that's probably best left for another day.]

Speaking just for myself, there are no option-related plans.

Since this was 2 years ago, I wondered if anything has changed. I know that Fidelity will let you plot implied and historical volatility and I wondered if there was a way to access that data source.

The
QuoteMedia provider allows to download historical option data.
Regarding Fidelity data, you might want to ask Fidelity directly.

Can you provide a link to or an example of retrieving implied volatility from an option contract from QuoteMedia?
Thanks,

Ed, it's documented in the provider's
online guide in the Wiki. Of course the example symbol has changed so look it up on their website. (You would do it anyway). There's no guarantee that it would still work with this feed - it's been quite a time since this topic was raised last time.
