_static_scraper.py line no. 155

scraped_dict = parse_data_from_json(
                json_dict=flat_json_dict,
                map_dict=mapping,
            )

flat_json_dict object is passed in the argument. Expected argument is json_dict. As wrong argument is passed the _mappings.py is returning nan for some of the mapped keys.

For example : Key "caption" in following function will be nan as flat_json_dict is passed.
