On the JSON Developer's Guide, the "Results array: guaranteed fields" section
has some inaccuracies. On a minor note, the "cursor" and "results[]" keys
appear in this section when they shouldn't (they appear in the section above
and are duplicately listed here).
More importantly, the "html" key listed in this section does not appear at all
in any results.
The results elements I get have these keys:
0: url
1: title
2: titleNoFormatting
3: patentStatus
4: GsearchResultClass
5: content
6: applicationDate
7: assignee
8: tbUrl
9: patentNumber
10: unescapedUrl
The sample JSON data on the documentation page verifies this. It is my
understanding the "html" key contains the contents of the patent, so you can
understand why this is important. The documentation goes so far as to say "We
expect that this is the primary property that applications will use."
Is the document incorrect in listing this key at all, or is the API not
functioning correctly?
