Googles Maps Search not scraping all times correctly
S

Places in Google Maps not pulling "split" hours properly. I see that this was fixed for Organic Search results but does not seem to be working on Google Maps searches.

Hello Scott,
Than you for the detailed information. I understand it now. Screenshot is helpful but we really need to see an example in HTML form. Is it possible to share a search_id where restaurant has this different hours? Or you can also share the location of "I Love Sushi Japanese Cuisine" restaurant.

Hello Scott,
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for the report.
I have checked your example and can't find the problem you mentioned. Could you please explain in more details?

Ali: Hello Ali,
Thank you for looking into this. The problem is that it does not pull the second set of hours of operation for a given day. It only scrapes the first set.
For example, the restaurant is open from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM then reopens from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM on the same day.
I've attached a screenshot of how the hours show up on Google for the mentioned location.
I would expect the array of hours to look something like this perhaps:
[ {"tuesday": "11AM-2PM"}, {"tuesday": {"5PM-9:30PM"}, {"wednesday": "11AM-2PM"}, {"wednesday": "5PM-9:30PM"} ...]

Hi Scott, we have merged the PR for this issue. We added comma separator for day that has multiple time.
