Firstly, I just wanted to say, great work and great article!

So I am making a web scraper based on yours, that is going to search amazon for a list of DVDs or Blu-rays based on title alone (hopefully with little error), and return the price. I have the test URL https://www.amazon.com/Sean-Connery/dp/B011MHCHTQ/, but it is returning null in every field. Do you know why this is?

Thanks!
