Google Products empty `online_sellers` array and missing `prices`
complete

The JSON as no prices for the product_results
"product_results": {

And the online_sellers array is completely empty:
"sellers_results": {
"online_sellers": [
]
```
This only seems to happen when no
gl
is included in the search alongside the location
Google doesn't seem to serve the
prices
element on these searches and the different page layout also causes the online_sellers
results to be missed by the scraper.

We have just deployed a fix.
The
online_sellers
array is back to working fully and the prices
will still be there if that element is on the page.Google seems to be moving away from including the element that the
price
was parsed from so it likely won't appear as often going forward if at all.Elizabeth Oster
