Retrieving option chains from the Yahoo Finance API

I am trying to retrieve but I cannot manage to get it to retrieve data. The query I am using is: SELECT * FROM yahoo.finance.options WHERE symbol="AAPL"

So that you can try: Yahoo Finance API

Is there any other good and reliable source for option chains that I can retrieve easily with some Scala code?

This is a pretty common question. Since the remake of finance.yahoo.com many API and scraping tools are broken. This API is working and has been for the past month+ without incidence.

Not sure about Scala, but I'm using it with the JSON return in my MeteorJS framework.

The old tried-and-true API still works: 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=amd&f=nb4t8' (well documented, this particular call asks for n=name; b4=book value; t8=1yr target price).
