Hi, I thought I might try getting the option chain for the RUT index (Russell 2000) via a partially completed ibContract as described in the documentation for the IB API interface here: http://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/contract_details.html#gsc.tab=0
I coded the following:
optContract = ib.Handle.createContract;
optContract.symbol = 'RUT';
optContract.secType = 'OPT';
optContract.exchange = 'CBOE';
optContract.currency = 'USD';
optionChain = contractdetails(ib, optContract);
disp('Option contract details');
disp(optionChain)
The display of the optionChain shows:
Option contract details
marketName: 'RUT'
minTick: 0.0500
priceMagnifier: 1
orderTypes: 'ACTIVETIM,ADJUST,ALERT,ALLOC,AON,AVGCOST,BASKET,CON…'
validExchanges: 'SMART,CBOE,CBOE2'

Seems that the request recognized the RUT, and I do see a contract month for 201612, but nothing else that shows the various option contract details for the various strikes and expirations.
I was hoping that I would get back an array of option contract details so that I could then iterate over them and use the name of each contract (e.g., 'RUT 160819C01180000') on a getdata request to obtain the bid and ask price for each option. Any ideas on how I can do this?
If the Matlab trading toolbox contractdetails function does not support this, what other method could anyone suggest to get the option chain?

G_Ib.Handle.registerevent({'contractDetailsEnd',@SbtContractDetailsEventHandler});

Using the help of @Scott Tuttle i wrote a function to download the option chain. It can be downloaded at FEX.
