Hello! I use json/yahoo also and it works fine for me. If there is no trading in a certain option for the day a quote is requested then it will return nothing (usually) OR the quote from the last day the option traded (rarely).
Your option looks to be low volume. According to yahoo web (https://in.finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPY211217C00325000) it last traded on the 11th, volume of 8, and nothing since. If that last-trade-date is correct then the quote you see in gnc would be correct.
