Is there a way to get the live options information from Yahoo or Google's API. By options information I mean: call, ask volume. I basically need the information on this page
thanks for your help!

Not sure what language you are looking to use, but you can use the java parser found here and modify the Yahoo Finance API link + special tags as shown here and you should be able to get the options information.
As far as I remember there is a 20mins delay in the quotes. I'm not sure if it works the same way for options.
I don't know of a way to do it other than scraping the HTML. The
getOptionChain.yahoo
function in the quantmod R package does that. You can get the source on CRAN.
