sensex symbol name is wrong

meet panchal

i wanted to fetch symbol tokens of sensex options so today was 14th november2024 the day is thursday and technically today is the expiry since tomorrow is holiday so the expiry should be 14nov but in the json file it was
available for 24nov
1st occurence

2nd occurrence

as you can see there was a mistake in the expiry dates

@meet-panchal hey can you help me out with the correct format i tried many thing it didnt work?
..
def get_option_symbol():
"""Finds the nearest SENSEX Call Option (CE) for the appropriate expiry."""
try:
# Fetch the spot price for SENSEX
spot = smart_api.ltpData("BSE", "SENSEX", "99919000")
nifty_spot = spot['data']['ltp']

    # Calculate the nearest strike price (rounded to the nearest 100)
    strike = round(nifty_spot / 100) * 100

    # Get today's date and determine the expiry date
    today = datetime.datetime.now()
    expiry_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(get_next_expiry_date(), "%d%b%y")
    
    # Format the expiry date in the correct "YYMNDD" format
    expiry_str = expiry_date.strftime("%y") + expiry_date.strftime("%b").upper()[0] + expiry_date.strftime("%d").zfill(2)

    # Construct the symbol in the correct format with no spaces
    symbol = f"SENSEX{expiry_str}{strike}CE"

    print(f"Searching for symbol: {symbol}")  # Print the symbol being searched

    # Search for the symbol on BSE
    scrip_info = smart_api.searchScrip("BFO", symbol)
    
    if scrip_info and 'data' in scrip_info:
        token = scrip_info['data'][0]['symboltoken']
        ltp = smart_api.ltpData("BFO", symbol, token)
        
        if ltp and 'data' in ltp: 
            return {'symbol': symbol, 'token': token, 'premium': ltp['data']['ltp']}
        else:
            print(f"⚠️ LTP data not found for {symbol}, skipping.")
            return None  # Skip if no LTP data
    else:
        print(f"⚠️ No matching scrip found for {symbol}")
        return None

except Exception as e:
    print(f"🚨 Option fetch error: {str(e)}")
    return None
