[Google Jobs API] `related_links` are missing from scraped results

Open Freaky opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

The documented related_links section is currently missing from the Google Jobs API following major changes made to resolve #1798. This section is now provided by Google in a per-job subrequest, so is not part of the main scraped page:

google-jobs-related-links

The cost of the additional HTTP requests might imply this should be moved to the Google Jobs Listing API, unless a more efficient alternative can be found.

Would definitely appreciate the related_links field being available again. I would grab the company's website from that list when present. In the interim, I've put in a workaround that makes a call to your Google Search API to find the company's website using the company_name as a search term. This is working, but not as reliable as grabbing the link from the related_links element. Having to make a second call to the Google Jobs Listing API wouldn't be an issue for me.
