Description
**Describe the bug**
An option snapshot like the one below was returned from the endpoint. The option symbol appears incorrect.
"XOM2241220P00280000": {
"latestQuote": {
"ap": 9.5,
"as": 82,
"ax": "N",
"bp": 7,
"bs": 86,
"bx": "X",
"c": " ",
"t": "2024-11-26T20:59:59.956962048Z"
},
"latestTrade": {
"c": "f",
"p": 15.79,
"s": 5,
"t": "2024-08-26T14:37:34.549471232Z",
"x": "C"
}
},
**To Reproduce**
Use this query:
https://data.alpaca.markets/v1beta1/options/snapshots/XOM?expiration_date_gte=2024-11-27&expiration_date_lte=2024-12-27&limit=1000
**Expected behavior**
The symbol should probably be XOM241220P00280000. I didn't know how come this was returned to me and it made me doubt if this is really a production-ready API.
