Seems like the API query that ties a symbol to an option chain has derailed. Any insight?

I'm not fully sure how to interpret this, but I came across this thread on reddit today https://www.reddit.com/r/algotrading/comments/j39kaa/robinhood_api_change_last_night/

I actually came across the same thing while tracing back the calls. The fact that I never had to look through the code before is a testament to the work done here by everyone else. Hoping someone else has the time to restructure the call to the API to search by stock id rather than stock symbol. I won't have the time for a few days probably.

Seems to work properly? They might have reverted the api change.
