Prompt
Design a Python script using pandas and numpy that constructs a live options volatility surface from market data. The script must dynamically ingest real-time options pricing from multiple exchanges, calculate implied volatilities across different strike prices and expiration dates, and generate a 3D heatmap visualization. Include error handling for missing data points and implement a caching mechanism to reduce computational overhead.
