[Google News API] `snippet` field missing in the response

[martin-serpapi]

A user reported that the snippet field is missing for news_results entries in the response from our Google News API. I was able to reproduce it in the Playground.

Playground | Inspect

The snippet field is included in the JSON structure overview and the examples in our Google News API documentation:

Google doesn't seem to return snippet anymore in their HTML.

Google doesn't seem to return snippet anymore in their HTML.

I’ve checked multiple examples, and it seems that Google is indeed no longer returning snippet in the HTML.
