I am wondering what people are using for downloading quotes for US stock
options. I am currently using yahoo_json, which works fine for stocks but it
is not reliable for stock options.

D:\>perl "D:\tools\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-dump" -v yahoo_json SPY211217C00325000
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: SPY211217C00325000   <=== required
      date: 12/11/2020           <=== recommended
  currency: USD                  <=== required
      last: 56.6                 <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
